GT500 Break-in
As a few of you know, I just scored a 2014 GT500. I'm picking her up tomorrow with 811 miles on her.
What do I need to know about break ins? Change oil at 3000 miles? How long does it take? What does it involve?

Drive it like you stole it. Do a lot of engine breaking to seat the rings. Change oil after 3 months. Done. Enjoy it. Congrats josh! I'm uber jelly.

I drive fairly aggressively, but it took my first track weekend to "seat the rings". I had 4k miles on the car at my first track outing. Ate 1qt of oil in the first 3 sessions, and not a drop the other 5 sessions that weekend. Hasn't used a drop of oil since, and it has over 10k with another few days of road racing.
Congrats on owning a legend. I'm jelly too.

Wow awsome car man! The last Shelby GT500 that Shelby biult will be worth some serious coin some day! Ive been driving my 14' GT like i stole it since day one with 7 miles on her lol. Ive herd that for a fast car break it in fast and for a fuel efficient car break it in slow. Lol i dont know if its true but it sounds cool 😜
