I am about out of my first 500 miles. Do I need to do the brake burnishing procedure (i.e. accelerate up to 60, brake hard, do 50 times , etc.)? The manual has the procedure listed in a different section and seems to indicate that is necessary if the car will be used on the track. But if that is necessary to maximize brake performance, would that then be necessary for daily driving also? Just curious.

I am not sure how many people actually do this. But if you read the manual closely, it says you should do this two purposes: (1) track, and/or (2) high performance street driving (i.e. you play with the go pedal, you may want to make sure the stop pedal works at its peak). So I would say that unless it is just a show car or you never plan on getting on it, you should do this procedure. I could be wrong.
If it would ever stop raining here in IL, I might actually get to 500 miles, change the oil, and then due the brake burnishing. But if it does not stop raining, I am going to have to build an arc for the car.
