Gtr arrived Saturday
ive only had 3 days to drive her and have put 300 km but it was pure bliss. Long wait and frustrations but all of you still waiting hang in there because this thing is the real deal, it’s everything and more a real head turning Beast. The value for what you get is out of this world. I’m still breaking in and wondering about thoughts about this how is everyone else handling breaking it in?

Congrats!! Looks awesome!! As for the break-in, I'm just following the MB guidelines. There is a lot of conflicting info and advice out there, but I'm choosing to go with the guidelines provided by the engineers who designed the car. Ultimately, if the alternate view is correct and my car puts out a few less horsepower because I didn't break it in aggressively, I can live with that. I plan on keeping this one for a long time, so would rather err on the side of caution.

Love the aggressive stance.
Regarding break-in, for the first 500 miles I avoided aggressive down-shifting while braking, kept the rpms 5000 or less, avoided WOT and varied the rpms while driving. I always warm-up the engine in Comfort mode for the first 5 minutes of driving.
YMMV
