Warm the car up fully, then vary your RPMs and drive the car in the same manner as if you had owned the car for a year. All this babying, never letting the RPMs go over a magical number, slow turns, slow shifts - it's all useless. If you watch any of the National Geographic mega/ultimate factories episodes where they make cars like Camaros, Corvettes, BMWs, etc. these cars roll right off the factory line, go to a dyno while the car hasn't had time to really warm up.

Also consider how these cars are loaded onto the ship from Japan. Do you think dock workers have time to start each car up, let it reach operating temperature and slowly, gently drive your car into position on the ship? Hell no. These guys are on a schedule.
