You would most likely need to break the "break in period rules" , which I am one of those that say screw it. I have never adhered to break in periods and never once had an issue. Now with that said I don't beat the piss out of it, but I do drive it to enjoy it. In fact I think my cars have run stronger because of it.
Yeah, that is my concern. I definitely understand differing opinions about break-in; I keep my cars long term (10 years for the M5, 7 years for the M coupe, and 15 years for the Merc SUV with no plans to sell), and this definitely influences my practice.

In looking at the Ring web page, I see you can rent a 997 S for approx 500 Euros. Perfect - problem solved!
