If you drive your Z for fun on the weekends and around town letting it go alittle bit but for the most part nothing too extreme, will it start to reflect your habits and be a little sluggish compared to a person that say tracks there Z and pushes it 24/7? Are you draining some of the Zs potential if you dont always drive it to the limit? If so, is there a way while cruising to keep it responsive and ready to go? (Cruising in 3rd around town instead of 6)

I was reading stuff about "limp mode" and havent been around long enough to catch what that really means?

So if you are getting the jist of what Im saying could you fill me in on this topic please? Thanks
No, that's a load of crap.

What WILL happen is you can get more carbon build-up if you never open it up. On older cars, you would also wear a ridge in the cylinder walls as the rods were never stretched by high rpm. Cylinder walls now have liners and are in aluminum blocks for the most part and it's a non-issue. It was mainly cheap iron blocks from yester-year that did this.
