You will get about 50 replies that say "ignore the break in instructions I have been breaking in bikes and cars for 1,000 years and I just drive the shit outta them right off the lot". Unless that instruction is written by the engineers that designed and built the car just ignore it and follow the instructions as listed in the owner manual.

This.
Call me old fashion, but I’ll gladly baby something for 1,000 miles to ensure longevity of my pricey purchase...
I just kept it under 4,000 RPM and turned on the shift light at 3k; avoid cruise control. Use the time to get to know the car’s handling.
It isn’t only the engine that needs to break-in too. Try to avoid slamming on the brakes.
After 1.5k, I had the engine oil changed and put in Motul for the gearbox and diff.

That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
