By the book baby, by the book: First 2,000 miles under 4200 RPM. In S. CA. 400 miles goes by pretty fast...well, at least between 9AM and 5PM...

I mentioned Porsche's imposed 4200 rpm cap for the first 2000 miles. He laughed about that. (Walter's also German with a very thick accent). We both know that none of that matters to the service life of the engine. Been driving Porsches since 1974. 90% of them 911s.
Of course, this topic has been beaten like an old horse many times...

I was told when I picked the car up that for the first 1000 miles to be good, the second 1000 miles have fun but avoid long wide-open highway runs, then 2000+ do things to get arrested.

Coochas, let us know when you hit the 1,000. Weather is turning against me here which will slow the miles accumulation but it probably will for you up there also. I'm around 950 after today's adventures.
