I couldn't make myself adhere to the 100mph recommended ceiling on break-in during my Euro Delivery...I convinced myself the 4500 rpm limit was what I should adhere to, which with the 8-speed still allowed getting up against the limiter at 130. I will say 125 was getting a little unnerving on the all-seasons...the scolding from the passenger seat occupant that had been building from 120 on didn't help either. With perfect autobahn roads, the GT made 110-120 really pretty comfortable cruising speed.
