Downloaded the '06 manual.

All it says regards the break-in is basically "no special treatment is needed ...no full throttle starts ...or max speed runs for the first 1,000 miles".

But I know this is not in my head. This car feels about two tenths (quarter mile e.t.) faster. And I know about resetting the "drive-by-wire" system.

I do it every time I fill-up.

Hey, not complaining. It's just when I hear statements like "the Crossfire is not really fast", hey, I've had a bunch of muscle cars and hotrods over the years...MY Crossfire is pretty darn fast. I guess these is a fair amount of car-to-car variation. We've had a number of 4.0 Jeep Cherokees over the years and for some reason the Black '96 sitting in my garage now is a bunch faster than the others were. It'll run mid fifteens in 80 degree heat even with 152K miles on the clock. Yep, that ones a KEEPER !
