Calling all 987 Owners

Congrats and enjoy. I'm sure that where you live you can use the top down more often than in NY.

Gotta admit I'm quite jealous. Wife won't let me go in debt on a new one. So, I'll just downshift a lot in my 1997 to get over that yukky feeling.

Randall, a Boxster in your garage is worth two in someone else's.

[RandallNeighbour]

Is it worth two in someone else's garage because of how much I've invested in fixing mine up?

[IceBox]

Ummm...yes?

I heard that as long as the engine is fully warm you should have no problem running as hard as you want. I heard this actually promotes break-in and gives your engine better longevity. Check www.mototuneusa.com I have used thier power break in with all my motorcycles. Just be sure to change your oil at 100, then 500. You should be cool from there. BTW, your boxster is BEAUTIFUL!

I don' recall that Porsche has a break in specified in the owners manual.

Nor would they specifiy the oil change routine you suggest, which is sometimes done for motorcycles by fanatics such as myself.

They do fill the engine with Mobil 1 at factory and expect you do do same.

Of course, always allow your engine to be a full operating temp before you hammer it. Otherwise, just drive like a regular car.

Good luck!
