I was told 1200 miles, and under 4k RPM. Pretty difficult thing to do.

Nice car. Congragulations. 
I know, with 414 HP and 8000 RPM, you will be tempted to run it hard, but take it easy for the first 1000 miles or so. Don't go over 4500, don't brake or accelerate full-force (except in an emergency), and don't drive at exactly the same engine speed for long periods. Consider an oil change around 1000 miles to get the shavings out.
Then, after that, you can drive it like the M-car it is.
