I've always transferred old plates to the new car and then updated the registration. Not sure if that's what you meant?

Although I agree; it looks like just a stunt. Fun though!

Not sure how good it is for the engine in the long run, but it does produce results.

butt dyno? I'm not an "break-in" expert but trashing a car during breakup could possibly cause blow-by as the rings are still seating in the cylinder bore and you are putting them under maximum pressure - thus maybe contaminating your oil..and that isn't good. But I guess the thinking behind it is that the rings still seal better, a compression test could show the difference better than a dyno.

Also your brand new gears in the tranny and diff are also breaking it. But hey, it's your car and only my opinion.

Ah never thought of that!
No I meant in some states do they issue plates for you as soon as you buy the car but what you're saying makes much more sense.

Like I said no guarantee it's good for the engine, but there are about 4 or 5 86's here in NZ (that I know of) that were thrashed from day 1.

Anyone (who followed the normal break in) that jumps into one of these for a drive is instantly amazed how much more responsive and gruntier they are.

Even way down the line (10,000km+).

Just my opinion at the end of the day. :P

In many states (MD being one of them), the dealership provides you your license plates at time of purchase. I never had to step foot in a DMV to get my license plates (thank god).

Wonder if it was a manual or had the man pedal delete
