Modern engines are built with such close tolerances "break in period" is now more of a tradition then a needed practice. Not to mention that the new metal alloys are much harder then in the past. The reason not all cars come with synthetic in the engine is COST - most manufacturers are worried about the car lasting through warranty - usually 3 years 36,000 miles. The Corvette is a premium car at a premium price - should have a premium oil in it to match. In a somewhat clean enviroment most cars can last that without a single oil change just using good old dino 10W30. If you're only planning on keeping your car 100K or so - you're wasting money on synthetics in most automotive applications. Hardly going to add any value to your trade in.
