Yes, any car. First drive is familiarize. Test throttle, brake... etc.If it is your own car that you have driven for years, familiarizing it shouldn't be a problem. If it is different car that you have barely driven in it, then yes, I agree with you.
I don expect to redline my wira when first drive after complete swap. Mechanics will f**k me upside down. Hahaha ha.....
