After 600 miles. Pushing the car bad?

Hey guys,

After the TSX has over 600 miles, can pushing the car pretty hard be harmful?

I mean taking it on a curvy back road and flooring it and shifting through all the gears continuously. Just a little fun drive.

Let me know what you guys think.

I remember someone mentioning that acura says 600mi is the break-in period, but use at your own risk. Others suggest not to really stress it until over 3k.

...until you tear something up from overuse.

i agree... i'm at 2.5k miles right now and i don't think i've pushed it to its limits. i've broken in the car properly (hopefully) and i'm just slowly starting to increase the rpms.
