Years ago I had a friend whose Dad owned a Pontiac/ Cadillac dealership. My friend got a new Pontiac every other year.......421 Grand Prixs, tripower GTO's, etc. He drove them hard from mile one and they always ran like stink. He swore it was because he broke them in the way he was going to drive them and that the parts wore in to that kind of use and consequently made good HP.

I don't know if there was any truth to his philosophy, but every car he had was a bit faster than other cars like his.
