The car drinks oil like a pig: half a quart of synthetic in 300 miles--are you ************************ kidding me? My eleven year old Ford exploder with 165,000 miles on it doesn't drink nary a drop!

Good grief. :ah:

sound like you have the notorious RMS leak. Did you notice a puddle under the car after its been sitting for a while?

I'm up to about 400 miles in my break in and I've been varying the rpms mostly staying under 3K. Soon I'll start increasing the rev range keeping under the 4.2K. But I got to say this is not that bad. This car is quick even in this range. Better than I expected. When I get her broken in this is going to be sweet. Meanwhile this is like foreplay.

off topic: saw the BMW M4 on the news - I think they said power's up to 325bhp
