How hard should I drive brand new mustang gt

[Thun5der]

so I just took delivery of my brand new 2026 Mustang GT 6 speed manual. I am having more fun than I have ever had driving this beast!!! Sooo much fun. So it came with zero miles, so how much of a big deal is it to drive it fairly easy for the first 1,000 miles? I have about 300 miles on it and I have been “fairly” easy on it but I am getting the RPMs to 4000 sometimes before shifting. The performance/torque is incredible! Any advice on how hard I should push it the first 1000? Also, I LOVE my Orange Fury color, looks even better in person!

LOL, you opened a can of worms with the thread search, sheriff.
Opinions that I have read are all over the place. From drive it like you stole it to keep the RPM's at a certain level for a certain number of miles, " to " change the oil at various intervals. It is yours to treat as you please. Best recommendation I've read: be reasonable and enjoy the ride.

It's got a warranty. Drive it how YOU want.
