I've never heard of any true studies being performed to compare break-in methodologies. What we need is a real scientific study comparing a single model of car....some driven hard from day 1 while another group driven gingerly for the first 1200mi as a control. Then we compare outcomes in terms of mechanical problems, oil burn rate, etc to see which group faired better.
