All the cars I've owned have been driven hard right out of gate I change the oil @ 500 miles and every 5000 miles after that,and haven't had anything but positive results.

Everybody has there opinion about this but the goal is the same the rings & all parts must be seated quickly.

Sweet! Hey, if this has worked for you no reason to switch methods.

I'm pretty sure the break-in method isn't critical anymore so all this discussion is a waste.

Bottom line: You're not going to ruin an engine by following the break-in guidlines published in the owners manual.
