Ivan,

I have the identical 04 gt3. You will not regret the purchase. I have loved the car since the first time I drove it. Take it easy up to 1000 miles or so. My dealer recommended 4,500 rpm as the top line. I now can reach +80 mph in 2nd and +125 mph in 3rd. The acceleration is stunning and the overall handling is superb. I use the car as an every day driver!

Man...

I can't believe I have been able to resist flooring that throttle... it is MORE difficult than saying no to SEX! I have only been in the 4k RPMs neighborhood, that is barely when the engine begins to breathe... I can only imagine what passing 5k will do to me... I CAN'T WAIT!!!

The hell with it, I am going to drive all over freakin' Texas until I get to 1200 miles...

I've got the shakes man!!!

Congrats, Ivan! That's a beautiful car. The break-in advice above is what I did and I had the same feelings as you about holding it back..... deferred gratification! Enjoy!!

Yes, enjoy!

FWIW-I took my time somehow :rolleyes: on the break in. Just vary the rpms w/ more shifting to keep you occupied till the miles add up. As I got a few more miles I started going up in 500 rpm increments and 1800 miles it was time for a Track Blast. Watkins Glen never felt so good! :D
