What did you do for break-in? 1000kms under 4K?

There is great debate on what is actually needed for break-in, I'm kinda on the fence myself.

the car is most likely datalogged

do the 1000km under 4000rpm to protect yourself from some random event in the future and then rip on it all you want after that.

1200 kms Nothing over 5000 except once by mistake. You will notice tomorrow that it is very difficult to stay at 4000 RPM or under (which I managed to do 90% of the time). The awesome engine sound starts at 4500 and just kleeps getting better until you hit 7500. It absolutely loves being revved. You guys are going to have a blast on the track. You will not be the fastest, but I believe that you will have the most fun working to get the car to its absolute limit of performance.

Pretty sure it's 1000 miles / 1600 km btw.

Yes, I agree the manual does state that. However they did indicate to me at Mendes that each motor is thoroughly tested before going into the car at high RPM and that I should drive it like I normally would. I figure my 1200 km and less than 5000 rpm is a nice in between mix just to satisfy my own mindset on break in. Each persons comfort level will be different on this topic.

Based on?

We know there is a EDR that can supply data in the case of an accident or airbag deployment, so they can see the asshats turning off TC so they can drift around the neighbourhood. But only if they crash.

based on the fact that memory is cheap and dataloging simple parameters is easy

i'd be surprised if they didn't program something like this into the cars

Can SCION use dataloging to void warrantly?
Such as they spot any track activity; continously much higher RPM and speed for a few periods of time and go back to normal for a month or so.

Hey Slick, did you pick up your car today? Not the nicest weather -- no hooning in the wet, OK? :-D

Still hoping my Firestorm will appear this week.
