These cars don't really need to be broken in, butjust don't touch the redline till you have atleast 1000miles on her. I didnt though but thats what ppl told me 2 do lol i've driven hard from day one.

Quick break in is flooring it up to 150 mph right from the dealer's lot, then coast, like, 5 miles, down to 20mph. Repeat, and you're done.

I got a "loaner" cause I told the dealer I would come back the next day and do the deal. He said leaver your truck here and take a GT home for the night (they had to bring mine in from 3 hours away). I flogged that thing sooo hard I almost felt guiltyStock gt's can break em loose in 1st, 2nd, and a little chirp in 3rd.
I took it easy on my car for the first 500, not I beat it like a red headed step child

just get it up to normal op temp and then vary engine speeds, as per the owner's manual. You don't want to go easy breaking in a new engine or it won't know how to react when you go from mild to wild. Romp on it a little each day.
