So it sort of scares me that we, especially those with manual trannies, rroutinely get up to 5K rpms in normal driving.

RE: what do you consider abuse?
Hey, my uncle use to work for Chevrolet out on the test track in Detroit, MI. And he said that abusing a car is not what you all are doing. He said the tests he use to do one these cars was abuse. So, enjoy the car. I get on mine also. It is a fast sports car. Enjoy it and eat up all the rice out there. Because, "There is no replacement for displacement!"

I only have 4800 miles on mine and its a 07. I have had it for about 9 months. I dont beat on it much at all either , still feel as if I have to break it in , even though I have read there is no break in period.

Any test you can think of he did. Skid pad tests, braking, accelerating, etc.. Also, I have an 08 and it said in the owner's manual and the dealership told me I should be careful and don't sustain a constant speed for the first 1500 miles. then after that I could do what ever.
