break in
This is probably a stupid question im pretty sure I know the answer to...I have the new 427r and I have put 400 hard miles on it so far, Ive been driving the hell out of it redline quite a bit, is it that bad for it? I hear its horrible from some and no biggie from others?

RE: break in
These cars are made for it, just make sure your engines up to temp before you stab it too hard [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]
You'll get all kinds of suggestions on whether or not these cars need to be broke in...Either way it sounds like it's too late for your car sof*ck it and have fun...

RE: break in
you've got to break rings in properly by varying engine speed, so bring it up to normal op temp then do as you've been doing...that's better than babying it then "shocking" it by pouding on it after x amount of miles...
