And I would definitely never have done that to a new car before it is run in - and warmed up on the day.
Engine was running for 25 minutes before beginning the test so oil temps normal. Have done dynos and WOT runs on all my current and prior cars right off the showroom floor with not only zero long term issues, my e92 M3 still holds the world record for a stock dyno done at 300 miles.

In my view modern day engines are already broken in an ready to go.
