Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger on Porsche break-in, during a video presentation in Autumn 2015, as reported by someone on Rennlist (http://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/90228...e-rules.html): "I videoed AP's presentation, and here is what he said:Preuninger also pointed out that people driving their GT4 or GT3 straight from the dealership to the track are hurting their cars. GT3 or RS ? Follow a break-in procedure ! Maybe not as slow as the manual says, Preuninger pointed out, but low revs for the first 750 miles or so, and then increment them up after. Preuninger confirmed that he really thinks that any Porsche engine should be broken in, but especially high rpm motors. Now, frankly speaking, I see no reason that wise boss Preuninger would have made this up for marketing reasons in front of a group of die-hard Porsche aficionados. He and the other folks working at Weissach know their business.

Wait, by 800 miles they are going full throttle? Where did the 1,200 miles go? Why is this so different than BMW? Weird???? and wow, a full alignment? crap, we don't even get that. Now on a serious note... for all the folks that believe in the BMW engineers setting these limits... Was actually thinking about this today.... When is the auto trans fluid changed in a modern BMW? It isn't. Because they have decided that sealing it is better and for the first 100K and it works really well - but heck, after that, you are just about guaranteed trans failure. Somebody please explain why/how this is a good thing? The manual says no service is due on the trans, and BMW pays for no service... but at 100K, when it is out of warranty...all hell breaks loose. But the BMW engineers know best Seriously, I'm not knocking them - they are very smart people - way smarter than me (and all of us probably), but at the end of the day, they are not the ones writing and/or creating these numbers/limits/service intervals, because as I have pointed out, there is so much more to this.
