This is what I have been saying about break in procedure driving it hard seals the piston rings in faster with less oil comsumpsion,my car has about 5000 miles on it and has been driven hard and I also put up better dyno numbers than my friends who drive it like a baby and I haven't used any oil since the day I got it.

Lots of evidence exists both to support and discredit either method. I think the middle ground (mid range steadily advanced rpm and engine braking) is the way to go vs. Balls to the wall on mile one or "under 2k rpm" or something.
