Its called a safety factor. With that in mind, do you really want to test those limits? I personally do not as I want to keep this car as long as possible without major repairs...If redlining it the second it comes off the line helped to settle any seals or gaskets, my guess is they wouldn't recommend you do the exact opposite (why would they want your car to break?)
I appreciate all views/opinions on the matter, it is an endless discussion. My ONLY point to all of this is simple: You can either listen to the millions of people who have personal opinions/experiences/etc on the matter, or listen to the people who created the engine...I picked the latter as it seemed the most logical :happy0180:

The people who created the engine did not create the driving manual. The people in the legal department created it.
However, I still recommend a slight break in period.
