Get it warm and break it in driving home from the dealer.

Change all oils and fluids.

Go to track.

As long as you warm up the car and don't beat on the limiter you will be fine.

I've done quick/hard break ins on every engine I have ever had, none have had issues, none have had excessive blow by.

Opinions, much like blow by, may vary
