hit the red line with 300 miles on the car. trying not to freak out. I cant help but drive this car hard every time I put my foot on the gas. The power is there every time I let it rev up to about4500- 6000 rpm slowly before I just about floor it into second and let the tires break loose. Am I going to break anything or mess up something doing this? I know some people don't worry about the break period but I don't want any problems. Thanks

I did a line lock in the dealers parking lot with 23 miles on it.As long as u change the breakin oil when recommended u will not have any problems.I have drove all my mustangs like this and had o problems with the engine because of agressive driving.

Wait, so the first time you hit redline a puff of graffiti didn't shoot out your middle ac vent and the windows sync voice didn't say congratulations on hitting your first redline? You better go back to the dealer and have her looked at.

Mine has 341 miles, has done 6 dyno pulls to 6800 RPM. I figure if it breaks I know what to replace next.

When the car says it's time, 7500 miles, or 6 months. Whichever comes first. You can also elect to throw your money away and change it sooner for peace of mind.

we typically put them in 2nd gear, run them up to redline immediately, and then coast down to a stop several times to help seat the valves, other than that.

then drive it like you stole it.

we broke this one in on the dyno, 14 miles and 3 pulls to redline lol
