I'd do your first few WOT redline runs in S or S+, not manual, as you won't get the shifts right the first time or two.

That is if you haven't done so already

getting past the break in is amazing, im almost at 3k miles on mine, and loving it. Winter is limiting how hard i can push the car, but still very fun in the snow. Would love to hear your impressions of the car!

5,XXX miles here. Still thoroughly enjoying it. It will be a treat in the Spring to switch back to some rubber that I can abuse a bit more.

+1, with a record snowfall in december it feels like I've been driving around a six figure snowmobile.

The cold weather has also meant that the car doesnt' fully warm before I get where I'm going, so I can't really get on it too often.

Yeah I know Vic, I should probably drive it like I stole it from day one, but I don't switch cars with your frequency so I figure I should follow break in in case I keep it for more than 2 years. If I was going to swap cars in a year or two, not taking advantage of what the car can do for nearly 2 months doesn't make a lot of sense
