Ah, when I hit 500 and was going to nail it - guess who was sitting behind me - mr. smokey with light all ready and waiting. So I had to wait.
Wonder how he knew?

It's a long 500 miles, is it not? Now you are ready for those Mustangs.

The worst part of the 1st 500 miles was not being able to rev past 2000 rpm and watching all the other cars/ SUVs/ etc. passing me by. Now...it's a different story!!

2000 rpm you mean 5000 do you not? I am not sure you can even shift before 2500

Dealer told me do not beat it but drive it like a car for the first 500..........Its not a break in period its a hope nothing is loose period.

I am at 435. I just did a 160 mile trip. I am sorry, but keeping around 55 was just not possible on a 65 limit highway. I went up to 67 at time. Hope she did not mind.
