i drove my brothers wry when new around 1500km then again at 17000km . totally different car , it felt like it had another 50kw added on!
if you were ford and warrantied every car that got thrashed at the track you would go broke overnight!

Load of bull modern cars don't need bedding in. It also is very hard to find a set of rings in a supercharger.
