Running in a brand new C8

[Jezzer]

Should get my car tomorrow, which is earlier than I thought. Just wanted to confirm if there are any running in procedures with these as I was told it is quite critical that for the first 1000 miles or so they are treated very gently.

Was told to just go gentle for the first few hundred miles particularly on the brakes / tyres. I think the engines are bench run before they are fitted anyway.

I basically took it gentle initially, increasing the revs etc over the first 600 - 1000 miles making sure it was warm before I put my foot down.

Im now on about 5K miles and the engine has definitely loosened up over that time

This is how I’ve always run my cars in
