Have you broken-in one of these Camaros "following 'Corporate procedure'" to compare the differences?

For a while now I've wanted to see some numbers from a track with a professional driver driving two Camaros... one broken hard and fast, the other long and easy... the driver not knowing which is which.

I have no doubt that your car rips now. But a lot of people are being fed a "placebo" and are imagining things. Kinda the same way your old car runs and sounds better when you give it a good wash and interior detailing. I've seen an improvement in my performance... but I couldn't say it was from the break-in, the fact that it has some miles on it, a fresh oil change, cooler weather, or just the fact that I'm comfortable driving my Camaro and that I understand the way my Camaro runs.
