once you push the car to its limits on the track, you quickly learn that it is down right stupid to come near those limits on the street. let alone on those shitty stock tires.
by that dash and steering wheel lay out thats a mid/late 90's stang. they are slow as fuck. makes the brz look like a racecar... |
not all true, the car is tail happy yes, but even with the stock tires on the car behaves well because of the chassis it sits on, try driving an MR-2... lol this car is VERY sane vs that car

Look at it that way and none of us got to "break in" our cars. All we did over the fist however many miles was get the ecu to learn in. .. I started giving mine hell around 600 mi.
As for the jackhole in the vid.. I'm surprised he didn't wreck it in the vid.. but .. who knows. Maybe a few months? First time he beats on it like that in the rain he's going to get a real interesting surprise.

yes, and yes
if you saw my car you might be saddened, i do rally cross from time to time though, explains the battle scars, but i have no intentions on reselling ever and 2 im driving the damn thing like is supposed to be driven

also the engine wakens up a good 1000km or so after break in, this has been noted multiple times through dyno testing during and after breaking periods
this is MEH, break in happens at factory and maybe 50 miles into ownership
"break-in" periods are for 2 reasons
1. if you beat on it, and they pull that information, they could deny warranty
2. if something wasn't manufactured right, engine failure would be less catastrophic, less damage would be done to the engine ( less damage done from you beating on the engine and it would expose the failed part better to toyota/subaru so they could quickly find a solution to the defect.)
