Having BTDT I'm confident I'll keep myself under control.

That said I have a clutch helper spring and GTR start button on the way.

earlier gears rev up quicker so it's not as a problematic.

Also, as a side note, I read your Mustang buying trip thread for the first time. Both that and Z ver 2 is awesome. I think I want to do a trip for my next car purchase Seems like its worth the drive.

My questions though, is that a bad break in for a car, to drive it for 900 miles at more or less constant highway speeds/rpms/gears?

I don't think it's bad for the car. They are pretty much broken in from the factory. I just make it a point to vary speeds for the first leg of the trip.

I have 1,500 miles on it now. Changing oil this weekend. Going with Mobil 0w40.

And yes, I enjoy a good road trip to buy a car. I love buying cars. It's fun. Especially when you can attach a story to them. If you check my S2000 thread, I have a blurb on what when down in the ghetto of Philadelphia when I bought it.
