I'd be more inclined to believe the 'break in period' with first hand experience and not what others say.

Now with the Z, i've given it more of a gentle approach, but I chalk that up to age...
See, the problem with that logic is the fact that there's no way to tell if it would have been better had you done it differently. That's why I defer to the guys who make the cars. Also, the break in isn't just for the motor.
