There WASN'T anything wrong with your comment. It's just that a lot of the newer guys get butthurt over things easily. (I'm not one of those)

5K + manual = Cut and dry. No arrogance there.

If you're going to follow proper break in, just keep it under 5K RPMs as stated previously... congrats on getting the car, but remember this car was MEANT to take the power it produces.

When I got my VIII MR last year, I kept it below 5K for 1000 miles. That was the fastest 1000 miles I ever drove. I drove it everywhere and even out of the way jsut to get through the break in period. They should break the motors in at the factory then install the motors in the new cars.
