Tell that to Hennessy, with his idiotic attitude about break in.
And the WORST people, are salesmen who do and allow prospects to abuse the car so then sell a car. I've seen cars that have been paid for by customer and before delivery, sales manage and sales guys rape the car, since it's already sold. That's your # 1 enemy, the dealership.
when the C6 Z06 came out and a friend bought one that had 66 miles on it when he went to pick it up. This car was ordered and purchased before it was even delivered to dealer.
Shortly after he picked it up, he noticed low oil light would come on. Dealer told him it's normal and to add more oil during break in. That problem continued to show up and the car would hesitate at certain RPMs and the same dealer he bought from, told him "it's normal".
He finally took it to another dealer, which they found out the engine was loosing compression on two cylinders. Since it was a new car, dealer actually ended up sending the car back to GM for further examination. GM opened up the engine and found out due to massive redlining in the early millage (as the computer had recorded it, before the car was delivered to customer, perhaps burnouts) it had rings and inside of cylinder wall damages.
[Be sure to have dealer state on your purchase document the millage that is on the car at the time you pick up your car]
After one month of agony, GM ended up replacing the engine on his Z06 that was paid for at the time of ordering and once the car was delivered to dealership, it was fully abused.
