It's my opinion that you guys are over worrying.

The theory on break in procedures vary anyway. Some people say break it in gentle, others say, break it in you like stole it.

My vote goes with the later theory. Smash that throttle, stand on those breaks, stress that vehicle to the near breaking point (not that there is a breaking point..)

Cause if something is going to happen to the car, I'd rather it happen when the car is brand new. Let it happen when the dealer is standing behind the car and the deal.

Breaking in cars slowly was a technique of old. But with synthetic oils, computers, drive by wire, etc. I've heard many people say that I trust, that breaking in a car slowly can do more damage than good and the car should be broken in the way you plan to drive it.

Matter of fact, when I get in a new car that is mine, one of the first things I do is put a heat cycle on the brakes. Get em so hot that they smell and smoke, to bed the pads and create a chemical bond between pad and rotor.

And again, if anything is going to break on the car, i'd rather it break when the car is right off the lot or before it's turned over to me.
