Talking In that first break in period...

This is my first experience with a sophisticated sports car and am curious about some of the comments posted here related to the recommended break in schedule. It seems as if someone taking the car for a test drive may not follow these restrictions and I have read that the engines are tested at high RPMs at the factory. That being said, is there any concern about real harm to the engine if you slip above 5500 rpm for a second or two? Also, what if you slip just above the moving "redline" indicated by the oil temp. I'm sure you all know how hard it is to hold back!
