I just took delivery of my new Z, has 71 miles on it now, and I'm anxious to really drive it to see how she will perform. I'm curious as to how strict fellow owners, adhered to the 1,200 mile break in period??

Opinions???

Meticulously.
What really angers me though is many salesmens' encouragement to the customer during the demo drive to "Go ahead, see what she'll do!" What's he care! He's not paying big bucks to buy that car. I just hope the 71 miles on my car when I bought it were put on by considerate potential customers who said, as I did, "I'll drive it but not abuse it. Someone is going to be buying this car, you know."
