Default Breaking in a new car

I was wondering how fast it too fast for a new srt-4? This is my 1st new car and I don't want to damage the motor. It's so hard not to get on it. I've only had it up to 80mph. My car has 300 miles on it now.

Ummm, I forgot but the manual is the best thing to read... I think it's the first 1000 miles that you shouldn't really be *** into it and ALWAYS remember to TURBO TIME your car...


CONGRATS on your purchase

Since your past the 300 mile mark you can do the WOT runs in the higher gears, it even say to to help break in the motor better in the manual. Just [sm=icon_rtfm.gif] and you will know all that you need to.
