    Nice. In answer to your question, the handbook says keep below 5,000 revs for 1,000 km.

    My dealer advised me that the factory had completed all run in requirements so no further concerns on that issue....

    All Scuds (including the 16M) have electric windows.

    I have been told this too but, if so, why does it not say so in the handbook? I wonder what would happen if there was an engine related warranty claim and the ECU shows the dealer that it was not run in accordance with the handbook.

    My Scud is currently showing 610 miles and I have yet to make full use of the revs available. Next trip out though.......................

    It's my understanding that the computer does not keep track of that information. But it does track how many times each gear is used.

    I actually read the manual for the 16M but the dealer told me that these cars come out with good engine oil so it is just reccomended to keep it below 5000rpm. The car is great to drive, but yet to discover the enjoyment of the sound and the performance. The stripe was ordered as Italian flag and actually in the beginning i had some doubts about it but after it arrived i actually loved it:)

    The Ferrari test drivers have driven that thing harder than you ever will.

    However, it can't hurt to follow the instruction manual... Of course, that's assuming you'll put 1000km on it before the monkeys on your back get to you.

    The Ferrari test drivers do not aggressively break in the individual cars. In fact, the primary break in is a 40 minute machine driven engine-only run at a maximum of 6000 rpm's. After that, the car is individually driven at modest speeds to help identify any production defects. Many people mistakenly believe that each modern Ferrari is individually broken in at high speeds on Ferrari's test track. This is simply not true, and validated by my recent Factory visit and conversations with production personnel. With this in mind, it probably makes sense to follow the owners manual break in procedure. Of course, given the minimal miles that many people seem to drive these cars, it make take some people several years to break in their car.
