I've never owned a high hp car, but that doesn't mean I haven't driven them before. I'm 24 and have been driving a porsche C4 cab that my stepfather owns. I don't plan on driving it that hard, I just want to know that the power is there. I'm buying mine for half collectible reasons. The other half is to take it to the track/strip when I want to.

Before I read the thread on breaking in the engine, I was going to drive it normally without stomping on the noise pedal for about 2 weeks to learn how drives. Get the rev match down, etc. Once I knew all that, then it was time to gradually increase the rpms before shifts, and shifting faster. After a few more weeks, it was time to drop the hammer.
