2017' 350R

[Mr. Kit]

So after all the shut downs and lack of future production, I broke down and bought one instead of hoping my dealer will come through. Attached are some Pictures, had 10.2 miles when purchased now I have to hurry up to 1000miles to I can hear this car at 8250rpm...

Grats Man! I know you've been looking for some time. Happy to hear that you got an R like you wanted.

You don't have to wait. No extended WOT until 100 mi, track day at 1000 mi. It says nothing about not being able to go to 8250, just don't do it under WOT until 100 mi.

Exactly.

The manual says to take it easy for the first 100 miles. I waited 200 then beat the snot out of it. @210 miles mine saw 8k a few times. I did change my oil at 1000 miles and had my oil tested and all is normal.

Congrats to the OP on your new R!

Very nice combo. Congratulations!

I just waited until I got mine nice and warm. It did only say extended wide open throttle, not just wide open. Doesn't count if it only taps it, right?

It's a beauty, Congrats!

An Avalanche Grey R with no stripes?

You, Sir, have impeccable taste. I salute you.

:clap2:

Thumbs WAY WAY up! Run it!

Mine is gonna show soon I can feel it. FP tracking system was down today. I have a good feeling it's on the semi headed my way.

 

[AGGT350]

damn that's a fantabulous color!!

Beautiful color! Getting my roof wrapped in gloss black in case I decide to go back to the all AG. I love the all AG as well as AG and black roof looks.

On the subject of break in and my personal paranoia about oil consumption and motor issues:
- I'm at 280 miles - did varying rpm under 6k rpm, no WOT for the first 100 miles.
- Raised my 6k rpm limit after 100 miles and did a few WOT runs since then. I try to go over 6k rpm at least once per heat cycle after the car is fully warmed up
- 0 oil consumption so far - checked it at 250 miles, plan to do my first oil change at ~1k miles before my first track day

Nice car!
Congrats.

Avalanche Grey is easily one of the best colors to get this car in.

I went back and forth...drove the sales guy nuts. White, AG, white, AG... Ended up white with no stripes and I do love it but I still equally love AG!
