Prior to picking up the car: "yeah, I'll keep throttle to a minimum, vary up the RPM, avoid cruise control, and try to stay away from the top end of the tach as much as I can."

Driving home after pick up: "oh, the car's warmed up? Fuck it. Might as well keep a cinder block on my right pedal at this pace."

The dealership where I bought my 2011 forces a U-turn when leaving and I took the opportunity to get a little sideways and hold a nice smokey drift.

Line locked it with 9 miles on the car in the parking lot. Drove it like I stole it the next 70 miles, put it on the dyno at 110 miles...

Racers all know it, best ring set in is the first few miles, run that engine hard.

Different question, but what should the cylinder head temp read before opening it up? I usually wait until it reaches about 180 degrees before exceeding 3,500 RPM.

I couldn't help it when my friend's 11 years old daughter sitting in the back seat yelling "FLOOR IT... FLOOR IT!"

My cylinder head temp is usually 205 or so, if it gets to 220's I lay off and drive normal. I have never seen my cylinder head temp under 200, but then again, its Florida. Ambient temps are in the 80's and my inlet in the high 90's if not 100's
