Is there a break in period for the Z?

I followed the manual for break-in as best I could but did I get on it every once in awhile? Yep. I look at it like this. Unless you took delivery right off the truck chances are someone before you has redlined your car.

I have never once followed any kind of break-in period for any of my new vehicles and have never had any sort of issue. IMHO I think they are not neccessary.
