You don't have to wait to floor them. They run some of them up at the factory anyway, at least at the Corvette plant, which is the only plant I have toured. The only thing you need to do when breaking in a car is not keep it at a constant RPM for extended periods of time, like in long highway driving.

Just what I've heard, though...it's your car, your call. I'd search around for some reputable sources (Click & Clack, etc.).

I'll be driving mine about 20 miles first. That's about the distance from my dealer to the end of my court. Then I'll light 'em up and all the neighbors will be saying "Oh No Steve's Got His Car. There Goes The Peace And Quiet In The Neighborhood".

Tie up your dogs watch your kids. I break for nobody. (Just the end of the court before I hit the field.)

Owners Manual says:
For the 1st 1,000 miles run the car at different speeds/rpms to break the engine in. It moves all the parts at different velocities.

I think I had approximately 1/250th of a mile on it before I floored it, My dealer was with me, so he can vouch for that. That very night I did three runs up to 140 m.p.h !
This weekend I officially hit the rev limiter, got to what looked like 145 m.p.h (It's supposed to be governed at 143 m.p.h) and the car just stopped gaining.
In accordance with the owners manual my vehicle has seen 0-145 m.p.h and 0-6000 rpm's and everything in between.
Spank her a little! She likes it!

I did a burnout in the dealer parking lot. It had 2 miles on it. Have 5,500 on it now, running very strong!
