Haha maybe for like 10 minutes, but 2.5 hrs of... "I don't think I can take this corner.. hold on!" would be kinda taxing haha.

Haha I wish! It's a loaner car though, from the dealership. If it was up to me I'd get the XT. I was petitioning the dealership to give me a WRX for a loaner, but no go...

During my break-in, what I did was increase the rpm's by 1000 every 150-250 miles while starting under 3k. So around 700 miles, I was doing 5.5k-6k rpm's. But it's all personal preference so do whichever you like. Some people will tell you it's bad to high rev the car during break-in while others say it's good. I really don't see any evidence that leans towards one another. It's more of how you driving the car that contributes to it getting damage or lasting a very long time.
Edit: Also you don't need to worry about driving fast. I'm sure there will be a few of the 86's that like to cruise along these drives rather than doing a spirited run. |
