Wow. By reading this it really tells me to get another car and let that Z for the summer.
Purchased on 3-14-2012 and today (4-4-2012) I got 996 miles

nmjaxx9 · 04-04-2012, 08:01 PM

the first 2,000 came under a 3 weeks I know that, its all part of buying something new you just want to use it a lot.

iSteve370 · 04-04-2012, 08:19 PM

Picked mine up new on 7/17/11 and have 13,6XX as of today.

Z_ealot · 04-04-2012, 09:11 PM

picked mine up new with only 5 miles on the clock, as of today sitting at 16,3XX. break in was done in less than 1 week, but thats only due to having to drive family members around for a wedding that was going on at the time that was about 70 miles from where i live, still stuck to break in procedure, but boy it's hard to resist driving my Z on the weekends. I have been taking it easy though the last few months so hopefully won't rack up to many more miles this year

A week and a half. Bought it on March 25th and I just hit 1204 miles.

Speed of light is 186,000 miles per second...with that, it should have taken you 0.006 second. 2.5 minutes is way too slow!

LakeShow · 04-05-2012, 04:28 PM

A couple weeks. It's supposed to be a gradual break in, not 2.5 mins.

nismochiq · 04-05-2012, 05:00 PM

hit 1200 a few days ago bought her 3/15. and you don't need to wait to put regular mods on, i.e. intake and exhaust. its just increasing the efficiency of the engine, and making it less restricted. no mod like that is going to ruin the engine.

theboydiddy · 04-05-2012, 05:53 PM

^^^ damn I bought my car one day before her. And as of today I'm on 1062 miles. She's right but I'll wait until 2K miles for me to add any mod to it

nismochiq · 04-05-2012, 07:45 PM

I had to drive up to base a few times and I drove her to Tampa. I wanted to break her in soon she is at 1600 right now

iSteve370 · 04-05-2012, 07:48 PM

Damn, I'm noticing most people here don't use their Z as a daily driver.

theboydiddy · 04-05-2012, 08:00 PM

I do. But I don't want to really
