Getting impatient :)
 

Still only 600 miles. I'm following the break-in procedure, although I know there are many opinions about this.

I just want to get on it. :)

..get on it than!

What break in procedure, open up that machine and hammer it.

I got frisky with mine around 350 miles. NICE! I don't baby it but I do watch the rpm's and throttle position carefully. It's a quick machine that will melt the tires.

i agree its what there made for!

Ride it hard. In fact, ride it really hard for your break-in. You should be sweating during your break-in.

I got on it once full throttle on the highway. Wasn't impressed. Did the "fuse pull mod", seems much more inline where the power should be now. :)

Wanna know my break-in procedure?
 

#1 - Put the rear end up on jack stands and chock the front wheels.

#2 - Start the car.

#3 - Shift into Drive.

#4 - Put a brick on your accelerator and let it go.

#5 - Make sure you have a spare 10 gallons of gasoline on hand so you can top-off the tank when it starts getting low, so you can do a thorough break-in.

#6 - Wait for the "Low Fuel" indicator to come on.

#7 - Shut off the car.

#8 - Lower the rear end and go get yourself a tank of gas.

#9 - Change your engine oil, differential fluid, and transmission fluid. Admire the glittery appearance of those fluids, because that means that your car is broken in properly.

I'm not saying that this break-in method is for everyone... and really, it could be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing...

...but this is how I broke in my 2010 SS/A6.

...I gun it every chance I get. The same day I took it out of the lot I gunned it a couple of times...broke it in that same day! lovin' the new g-ride!

Why wait? Drive it like you plan to...

Break in procedures vary but at 600 miles you should be hitting it hard.

I'd say semi easy drives(but don't be a puss) for 150-200 miles to break in the rear gears,tranny,converter.

The point is to seat the rings good,this happens in the first 20 minutes it runs which gm does.

My procedure is hard.Starting my 427ci next week and will hit the dyno on startup to seat the motor.After a heat cycle it will get WOT pulls.

For people hammering a car off the lot that is not good at all.It will cause premature wear of the clutch,A6 tranny and rear gears.Might not notice right away but they will fail early in life. Stuff needs to heat cycle and seat in.

I hope this is a joke.No load breakin of a motor is not good at all.Nevermind how hot the car must of gotten.

:word:
Thats what I have been saying...

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, you just contradicted yourself. If a car has any miles on it at all it's more then likely been heat cycled (unless a car can magically travel 7 miles, as was the case with mine, without the engine heating up). You just said after a heat cycle you will go with some WOT pulls. How is this any different then hammering the car off the lot? Obviously the engine and fluids should be at optimum temp before hammering it, but I don't see how WOT runs on a dyno is any different then WOT runs on the road.
