With that said, hardly anyone keeps a brand new car their entire life until it dies, so I would guess that you would probably never run into any adverse effects by thrashing on it from day one. I know a lot of motors come already with some dyno miles on them from the factory as well so you might be duplicating efforts.
Nah these bad boys ship to dealers with about 10 miles on them, one of the cars I test drove had like 21 miles when we started, and at 22 miles I was pegging redline. :lol: For the first ~350 I was super careful not to let the RPMs sit in one place, now I'm just driving it in "D" and winding it out occasionally, my commute is so much stop and go that it's never spending much time at one engine speed anyway.
