How do you know that?

The usual argument I hear is that they test these engines from day one, with break in, they use the "break in" period just to cover themselves still.

Yup that's what I always thought they did, that's why I bought my Z even though I redlined it while test driving and it had 45 miles on it.

Isn't the common consensus to baby it until XXXX miles so the engine doesn't get scarred up by the metal fragments?

i agree, i heard that the engines are ready to be driven hard. my dad told me that years ago, he has bought many cars and the ones that he kept for a long time are still good/great.
