Did he know he was supposed to switch gears? I have taken mine over 140 twice with no issues.

That new break-in routine is brutal.

1. Get new car

2. Take it up to 140mph

3. Act surprised the motor blew up

4. Display outrage when the dealer scans the computer and voids the warranty

140 is nothin' for these SS's. I am curious to see what's what once some light get's shed on the subject.

Maybe he meant to put a supercharger on the motor with only 79 miles on it. LOL
