what was everyone else's break in?

i was wondering how long you guys waited till you guys sorta pushed it kinda hard. i was reading the manual and it said 300 miles to not seriously push it over 5 rpms, and 600 miles before you can break hard. i might be missing other things but mainly concerned about when i can push it hard. how many miles did you guys wait up to?

I switched to non-synthetic oil and did lotsa rpm variations including going WOT (but not exceeding 5500 rpm) for the first 1k miles. Now my car feels VERY strong.
