I got my car with 40 and well ive seen Vipers being sold as NEW with as much as 90 miles on them... its not that bad as they are test drive miles. When you test drive a car, you go with one of the reps so that means you cant floor it without them stopping you. Its up to you though... is it worth paying more for it? Even worst... is it worth WAITING for?

Im not saying you cant, but they will nag about it, at least a little... Anyway, while you may be allowed to go over 4k rpm, you wont be allowed to drift or do burnouts.
One of the break in tips ( http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm ) even suggest you floor it. So yeah, read that for comic relief.

What is more, salesmen, grease monkeys and all kinds of dumb car jockeys at the dealership make sure that each car gets its fair share of abuse before it leaves their lot. They never have to drive a car from their holding area or another dealer, so all miles are necessarily from test-drives. Of course most sedans are test-driven by 18 year-olds (in age or mindset) and all potential buyers beat the tar out of the cars just like our own Mr. reggiek. What if some high school kid who didn't know stick test drove it?? 
Don't forget the car is made out of lead crystal, it's so fragile that the smallest push is going to hurt it. To top it off, Infinitis don't come with warranty of any kind, so if your clutch goes bad at 2000 miles, you'll have to pay for it out of your pocket

Reps don't give a **** about what you do with the car unless you start doing drifts or burnouts. They don't give a **** if you start flooring the car as long as you ask before you do it. I've always been able to floor the new cars on all of my test drives right up to the redline. Do you think they care about how the car breaks in? They just care about selling the car. That's all they care about, period.
