I envy you. A boxster with a factory 3.4 in it. You are the man! Do post pics and write about your jaw dropping acceleration when you get it, ok? Some of us need to live vicariously through you.
Porsche's 2,000 mile break in period just seems way to long imo. Most cars have a 500-1,000 mile break in if that. The engine is run and dynoed at the Porsche factory as well according to their website i believe. I don't think driving like a granny and keeping it under 4k grand has any benefit. I'm not saying you should go out and do redline shifts in every gear all day long, but exceeding 4,200 rpm from time to time won't hurt it one bit. I don't know...anybody know why they specify such a high break in mileage?
