The owners manual actually tells you to keep it below 4k rpms until 1,200 miles, not 1,000 miles.

Most of the people that tell you to drive it hard out of the box are trying to get the seals to seat. The fact of the matter is that your seals were seated before you ever got the car. They dyno the engine before putting it in the car. Also the person that test drove the car you bought likely seated them for you too by seeing what she would do.

As stated by several it is a good idea to baby it for the first couple hundred miles so that the rest of the mechanical system can break in.

An oil change after the 'break in' is usually the way I do it too.
