just got my 458 Italia, which makes me waited for almost 9 months.
glad, but also worried about how to break-in.
any advise?
thanks

 

post #1, just bought a 458 italia

pics of said italia atleast

 

i bought it at BeiJing, and now i am at US for college. so i didn't see my car yet. sorry. will post the pics at May.

 

if you bought the car new, then the dealership should be able to advise you with no problem at all. cheers!

 

Ferrari dyno tests every engine before installing them, comes broken in, they drive the cars before they even leave Italy so have fun with it... They did ; )

 

Yea, I have some advice. Instead of asking strangers on the internet go talk to your dealer.

 

Ferrari does dyno every engine and test drive every car at least 30 miles before they ship it over, so it is broken in for the normal driver. If you are planning to take it to the track and keep it a around 8000 RPM a lot, I would wait until you have at least 500 miles on it.

 

In the US for college and you have a 458? It sounds like you can break it in any way you like as a replacement should only be a phone call away :-)

 

thanks for everyone's help! i really appreciate that, i will post the pics once i have some.

 

he bought it in china,,Its the new USA..people making ton's of cash..
althoughyou really need the car over here..being in collage
with that car will get you laid alot.

 

Dang, I'm in college and only have an s4. I thought I was doing good. Good luck with the car buddy!

 

in college i had 80 bucks bicycle from Walmart, and was my only mode of transportation and it got stolen. I almost commited suicide..........

 

Nice cars in college are overrated anyways

 

The nicest car I had in college was a salvaged mazda mx-6, it did the job for my last 4 years. I saw another thread of a guy getting a brand new Cayenne S while in college. If I already had a sweet car I might of been much less motivated in school. My hats off to you!

 

after 10 odd years, now i own 2 Ferrari's and nobody will steal my ride now
