This guy claims it does. If anyone hasn't read that article, I'd strongly encourage it. For me, many things he claims to have found seem to make sense, however, I'm no engineer, so...

So we are not just talking about engines here, but actually all of the mechanical parts of the car.

First, I was going to comment somewhat ?against? this however, your points on it's probably best to follow those who actually engineered the car that someone who has had no specific experience with it make total sense too. Everyone has to remember that we're not just breaking-in an engine, but the entire vehicle. This is a great point, IMVHO

I don't think this information has been released. I won't be suprised if it's synthetic though.
