Break In Period?

Well, I sure hope THAT holds true! My new 370Z w/ sport package is HANDS DOWN, the fastest car I've ever been in! It kind of scares me!

Drove off the lot with 41mi on it, at 150mi, went on a 3-hr highway trip...but I did vary rpms and speed as much as possible.

To beat it all, it's saw redline MANY MANY times! Like...a lot of WOT redlines and 120mph probably 10 times so far. I've logged 1100 miles so far...

I've broken EVERY SINGLE rule in the book for break-in! I'm gonna change the oil @ 1200 miles and send it in for an analysis, so we'll see how bad a shape the engine is in.

Late,
Trav
