I for one, can't imagine taking a brand new car with 0 miles and running to the track with it without "break in".

That being said, I'm pretty sure every engine is run up and tested prior to installation in the vehicle, but this isn't breaking it in.

This will amount to nothing other than the "secret" calibration change after break in that has been there all along, including the Camaro is no longer a secret.
