i am still on run in period with only 400 miles so dare not trying.

250rpm !?!?!?!?? it is a bit low for the max rpm

 

[coatesy]

it'll probs be 7250-7500rpm

^^That's what i'd say. have you not had a look on the RS forum yet?

Meh, Redline it and see what happens.... All this running in periods with new engines is beyond me.. Maybe 20 years ago it was beneficial but i dont see it on modern lumps tbh

 

[Flying Frog]

just tried at goes on at 7250 rpm just before the redline. The sound there is amazing....

Read it again fella 250rpm below peak power.

+1. Most people I've spoken to that understand engines recommend giving it death from day one.

my bad sorry I always tend to read half of the sentence and assume to end bit.

The run in period is a tad b****cks with modern engines. But if you pay £15k+ on a RS i can understand why you didnt wanna risk it As long as you dont stall it loads or something stupid like that, should be fine!

 

[theduck]

yeah was guessing 250rpm below peak power as i'm sure mine comes on at 7krpm and peak powers 7250.

 

[ForceIndia]

I think this is the concept behind running the engine hard initially. Could be nonsense!

This is the only reason I'd ever buy a new car, to make sure that it was thrashed from new.

Test drove a cup saturday and can confirm its just over 7000rpm, about 7250, redlined it, does sound amazing though.. (only had 77 miles on the clock) shame.
