once it is broken in at around 200 miles and fully tuned than the same car that you buy used with about 13k miles but you fully tune it and pay for the overhauls
 
No they should be the same, overhauls are basicly a reset to how it was when it was new, however you would need to run it in again after a rebuild. (I think.)
 
If you take a car with 0 miles and get an oil change it will gain around 10% HP. I am guessing that this would be an advantage over the used car as we don't know if the oil was changed when it was initially new.
 
There is some point after around 15000km (or ~10000 miles) where even an engine rebuild will not bring back all the power. And you don't have to run in the engine again after a rebuild.
 
No, it's faster after a few miles when the engine has run in.

It's clear from the marketplace that cars with 0 miles and 0 'switches' are the most desired... but they're not the fastest.

I can understand why some go for the 0miles cars, but 0 'switches' is totally weird. If the car has 0 miles and 2 switches then what is the difference between the same car with 0 miles and 0 switches? I don't think there is any besides the No. of switches.. Its madness.
 
There is no difference in how many switches a car has. It's just an obsesive collector thing. Many collectors want a car that has everything set to zero because once it has been used in any way, it can't be undone. I know, it's not really logical. But to each their own.
 
I think the OP is trying to sort out which is the most powerful between a freshly broke in car and the same car with a heavier mileage but overhauls performed (same tune level considered).

No difference
 
If you want to easily test brake in, buy a brand new NASCAR and get an oil change. Should raise it to around 850, then race couple laps, back out and check the hp. It should keep raising to about 892, then will start to fall.

this is the answer I was looking for

so a dodge viper ACR WILL STAY AT 1031 HP EVEN IF I PUT 20K MILES ON IT AND PAY FOR OVERHAULS ??????????/
