Funny, I thought the same thing when I went through my manual - break in on the brakes but nothing on the engine. I've got about 500 miles on mine now and I figure most newer engines don't need much of a break in anymore, but I try not to keep it at one constant speed (highway), and don't get close to the red line. Figure I'll do that for the first 1000 miles then drive it however I want to. I'm just not pushing it too much. But again, I'm guessing as long as you keep it from red lining you will be fine.
