So with a brand new car this thought crossed my mind. How long of a period is a good break in time b4 really driving it hard. Now occasionally I've let it rip and pinned it getting some nice and health 6000rpms, then shifting while racing this one guy. But I'm just curious for how long should one baby a new car. I'm normally shifting at 3k.
