Thats one big thing.

Then again, some people swear by breaking it in hard.

Seirously, its a car, before you know it, you will probably be in another vehicle before you start seeing ill effects.

Whats your mileage now?
When i had the 6 speed, i burned out of the dealership, got on I-95 and didnt look back. drove it hard everyday unless it was raining out. that had 16K miles on it in 6-7 months. never had 1 single problem. And now i have an automatic, and drive it the same way and that has 3.5k miles on it. Only reason i started this post was cause i was curious about the break in info i read, and to see what everyone else thought or if they heard of the "370Z doesnt need a break in period" myth, or whatever u wanna call it... And thanks for the picture post AK. Appreciate it
