One thing is for sure that has not changed, warm up your car properly before taking it up the revs. Make sure you warm up more than just the engine, in other words have it sit running idle in the garage is not sufficient. You need to get the transmission fluids warmed up and the cars joints moving before putting your foot in to it.
Rest my case.
Must admit, I didn't do that on a demo car. Did a warm up period for a minute or so only.
You think my dealer had balls to say anything? On contrary, he said ... hit it!
But ... I bought/committed to the car after that nice demo.

Maybe the car can take it, or not. I don't really care.
I rather do my own break in period and not to save $20k or so on $300k car.
But, it's your money, whatever makes you happy.
