The first 2000 kms of a car vs the performance

Is it true that when you buy a new car, the way you drive the first 2000 kms will have a direct influence on the car performance? I mean, if you drive it like my grand father, the car will be slower. If you drive it more agressively ( hi rpm) the car will be faster.

I think you have it backwards. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual.
