(Note, no WOT in first gear until 600 mi, only in second and up. After 600 miles, then WOT redline in all gears) I was down 1/2 quart at 1500 miles so I topped it up. Now at 3200 miles, the oil has not dropped any more and it runs perfect. Conclusion: Drive it hard from day 1 (basically like you will always drive it) and it will be fine, if oil consumption is any indication of break-in quality. Just my experience.

I think thats probably bad advice. 3200 miles is nothing. See how your car runs after 50k, or 75k miles. That's where you'll see the difference.
