Bought my dream car 370z last week!
 

I am a proud new owner of a 2012 370Z Pearl White 6MT Coupe. This is also my very first car; I waited until now to buy my first car and make it a good one!

I joined the forum just now to learn more about the car and the community. By the time I was ready to buy the car, they were already coming out with the 2013 models, and there were only 2 2012 cars left in my area. I bought the white one, while the other one was black with black interior.

Salesman told me it was very rare to see a girl buying a manual transmission sportscar.

Here's a photo of the car the day I picked it up just last weekend! I can't get enough of hearing the engine roar! I heard mixed suggestions on breaking in the car. Some say that you shouldn't drive it over 60 or rev it over 4000 rpm while the odometer reads under 2000. Others say you should drive it hard and fast to break it in..... hmmm.....I'm confused.

But I can't wait to race my baby! I'm anxious to hear your thoughts?

Damn that white is looking clean! Congrats!

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Congrats! & welcome! Most suggest taking it easy till 1200 miles without revving past 4000 rpm.... others will say it doesn't matter...I say take it easy...it's only 1200 miles and will give u a better opportunity to learn the car at the same time.

:yum::drool::drool:nice! holy F*** another Z...very clean ,very ...mmm.... very nice young lady

Congrat and welcome.....

I suggest keep it under 3500 rmp before break it in(~3000 miles)

Welcome to the "dream car club!" I got mine a little over a month ago. Beautiful white stallion you have there. I broke mine in by driving normal and opening it up a little. I dont think i put it over 5500 rpms for the first 1200 miles. You can still hit 100mph without going over 5500Oil changer right after that so i could clean out the shavings and yuk from the factory. meachanic friend tell me that you have to open her up a bit in order to get those gear shavings off.... just dont redline her until you get your first oil change!!! I guess now its time to save some more money to.mod her.... damn z owners cant leave good enough alone!!! Lol

What you could do to protect her for the future is get a magnetic oil plug and maybe magnetic oil sleve to keep the shavings and metal deposits from floating around in the engine.

If you like the sound now. Just wait until you install a better exhaust. Congrats and welcome to the forum

Did you get the $8300 off employee pricing sale?

Congrats!!! I picked up my pw in March and absolutely love it. I opened up slightly under 1k miles but nothing pushing the car too hard... I didn't know it was possible to buy one and not open up at least a little? Haha. But around 1000 miles I installed my exhaust and am fully convinced that it is impossible not to open it up when it is a little louder and sounds so clean... And mean for that matter. So yeah definitely wait till you get that exhaust and fall in love with the sound all over again. Again congrats on the dream car purchase, you won't regret it, this car has been amazing on all levels :)

Congrats and welcome!! Enjoy your new ride! it is beautiful!
