You finally got it eh?!?!?! I haven't seen you around town on the road yet 
As for the break in period... They run the engines at redline and as soon as they install the final bolt on the engine. As soon as they leave the final line they run the cars hard before going to the marshalling yard to check for problems.
My opinion if you run it hard from the start anything with a flaw should fail, and fail early under warranty. I did not push my F hard for the first 300kms to allow the brakes to 'settle' in as per the manual. After that point however, I have been driving it like I plan to. That is, I drive as if the gas pedal was an on/off button rather than a gradual accelerator
Some QC engineers at work see my logic as far as the break in period others laugh and shake their head... but perhaps they know me to well...
