Engine is Run In!!! Hoo Ray at Last - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I've gone over the 2,000 mile mark on the motor and can now relax a bit with watching the RPM's. Already I notice a difference in driving. My launches are natural and gear changes match the road and driving conditions rather than being constrained by watching the tach. I've yet to really run the rpms up but its good to be into the mid 4's when running through gears!!

Till 4,5k rpm is nice.

Above 5k rpm the fun really begins as my BoxsterS opens its intake and does some Variocam stuff.

Mark.

Sweet!!!! Remember to hang on and wear a jock strap.

The engine is way better after 5k rpm. Let the beast rip! You wont hurt her. I take her to redline several times on every outing.

I personally love the sound of the engine screaming at 5k. This car is SO much fun!

I like to scare the people waiting for their valet cars in the parking garage.
Its soooo much louder indoors. (after I let it warm up of course

).

I like the way the exhaust resonates when I pull into the parking garage under my office building. I always blip the throttle needlessly and hope someone else is around to enjoy the sound too.
