Pretty sure this thread isn't about just burning oil during the break in period or when running the car hard.
Some of these engines can and do burn oil. I'm not sure if it's valve seals, bad rings, or what the deal is, but it does exist. A nice byproduct is all the disgusting soot that covers the tailpipes after a few hundred miles.
