I drove about 100 miles to a dealer to find the Z that I wanted. It was all freeway on the way home but on a Saturday in SouCal it still took 2 1/2 hours and entailed speeds from a bumper to bumper 5 MPH crawl to speeds around 30-40 for a few miles, and then back to 80-85 MPH which is common on the freeways here. It got a decent range of RPM's that day. One important thing to do: Bring a tire pressure gauge. The dealers jack the PSI up to about 45 pounds on the lot, something about keeping the tires from getting flat spots I seem to recall. I pulled over a few blocks from the dealer before I got on the freeway and let the air out of all 4 tires until they were at 35 PSI. It would not be good to break in the tires on a long drive at high speeds with them grossly overinflated.
