Here are a couple of good links for anyone interested in new engine break-in:

http://www.motortrend.com/features/e...nce/index.html

http://www.cartalk.com/content/colum...tember/02.html

I would think there is a break-in process for the clutch and brakes as well (to prevent glazing of the new brakes, for example) but couldn't find anything quickly ...

Resized prior to posting, makes them load faster.

That video makes it sound like a V8 from the future with that initial high pitch noise. It really does sound like it opens up at high RPM.

I'm not suprised at all by the results against the Camaro.I keep telling Mustang owners that you cant overlook the cubes,302 vs 350 We went through this 20 years ago with our 5.0 Mustangs.I realize the 2011 Mustang 5.0 is worlds away from my previous fox body cars but that Chevy small block especially the ls1 is a strong runner.

I hate bench racing and going by the rags numbers,bring it to the track and see what's up.I'm sure I'll challenge a few Camaros when I get my 2011 GT but stock vs stock I'm not going to be suprised if I dont beat every SS or WS6 and the corvette is out of the question without a power adder.
