Clinton Road is not the place to drive over your head, unless you want to become one of the ghosts that haunts the place.

The $10,000 is for a security detail to get you out of Neptune without getting shot or carjacked.

These are seriously great cars but that dealer can shit in a hat. That's COVID pricing and that shit is over. I hope that car sits there a very, very long time.

That dealer really can eat a bag o'dicks. For that money, so many better cars (slightly used) come into play.

Since you're one of those fanatical Porsche people, what break-in procedure did you follow for your car, and when did you change your oil (this is hotly debated topic I find)? Porsche is one of those companies that tells you to change your oil at 10-15k intervals, even on brand new cars.

They could very well be running a break in on the engine before it goes into the car. Especially a high end car like that.

Hell processes have gotten so much better that residual contamination in the block is so minimal as to be almost nothing.(Which is why most cars don't require a short break in change when new)

First 100 miles was lots of engine braking (still under 4000 RPM max). Just basically running one gear lower than you would for cruising and varying the RPMs.

I followed the GT car head, Andreas Prueninger, suggestion adopted to the Carrera RPM range.

4000 for 400 miles
4500 at 600 miles
5000 at 800 miles
5500 at 1000
6000 at 1200
6500 at 1400
7000 at 1600
Redline at 1800

First oil change at 1500 miles even though Porsche says 1 year or 10K miles. Now I’ll do once a year which is 4 to 6K miles.

Manual says break in required but I’m guessing they seat the rings on the bench. Some guys head right to the track and just change the oil after the weekend.

Yea the manual would be the gold standard. Whatever it says is definitely what should be followed. The mind blowing thing to me is the people that don't trust it(in this case it's the cars which say no break in change required or the guys who still change their oil at 3k miles ect ect) and think they know better than the guys who designed built and tested everything.
