[QUOTE="fangstang, post: 93660, member: 2128"] I was told by my salesguy last summer when I bought my cobra from him that I should not baby the car. He said if you drive it like a pussy from the beginning, then it will always be a pussy. I personally think that you should drive the car smoothly up untill 500-700 miles then gradually raise the rpms higher, and higher. When I got my cobra, I drove it like that, even though it was my first stick car and I was learning at the same time. When I had like 700 miles I raced an SS up to like 115MPH, that really broke it in nicely! Being that the new cobra has a supercharger, I'd say drive it carefully for the first 500 or so miles, then gradually raise the rpms untill redline, or near it. The blower will put a lot of stress on the engine, but..............I forgot, we now have forged internals! Just drive it like you stole it!:coolman: [/QUOTE]
