I was talking to a friend who owns a car museum down in St. Louis, http://www.kempautomuseum.com/, and he said that it is not necessary to break in a porsche or mercedes because they are already broken in in the factory, the engine has already been run in the factory. He said that porsche are meant to be driven hard and that breaking in is not necessary for the car. Just want to know if this is true or not...

I really don't know anything about it the manual say that it should be broken in correctly but my friend claims that it is not necessary to break in an engine because it is already broken in.

BTW, is there ANY mechanism by which Porsche could detect that the owner did NOT follow the break-in rules?
Just wondering.

I'm SURE they test driver puts the car thru some heavy stress in those 50 miles. I doubt he cares much about limiting revs.
Does this make any sense? It's just a guess on my part

I guess the dealership took it for a quick joy riding session before they handed the keys over to you.
