As you can see from the gear and the rpm, this car has more room to go but the electronic nanny was doing her job quite well
Remap for around 800 buckaroos and have your nanny removed + unleash a few extra ponies in the process

For those of you who are bothered by this, relax yourselves. #1, it's not your car so dont worry too much. #2, I took delivery of this car in Munich and spoke with 5 different people from the Dingolfing factory where these babies are born. ALL of them said the same exact thing. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BREAK IN PERIOD FOR THESE V8 MOTORS. The only break in I need to be concerned with is the brake pads so for those of you who care, and I thank you for doing so, I took very good care of the brakes. And #3, it's not your car.
All the best

Euro delivery! You have to do it. It wont kill the car to do it once if everything was warmed up properly... and he didnt redline it in every gear... slowly accelerating to 155mph will be ok.
