Excessive oil consumption?

This doesn't seem to be a common problem to most, but when it hit's, it appears to hit's big. What do you think is the "cause" of the excessive oil

Default Excessive oil consumption?

This doesn't seem to be a common problem to most, but when it hit's, it appears to hit's big.

What do you think is the "cause" of the excessive oil consumption that some of the Z owners are experiencing? Something originating from the factory in manufacturing or assembly, or a part that slipped by quality control, or an improper break-in, or maybe someone red lining the car on at test drive?

All I can think of is rings or valve guides, but those kind of things take lots of miles to cause a problem, and that sort of thing shouldn't effect a brand new engine. What do you think is the cause or causes?
