Redline that baby whenever the urge hits you and the engine oil has reached proper operating temperature. Change the oil regularly and you should be good.

Your car has plenty of miles and is completely broke in to drive it how ever you want. Be sure to do the normal maintenance on the car and you should be fine in most cases. I will throw one caveat out there for you that others are not sharing. The more you beat on a car the more likely it will break. Example. Your drive train will take more strain if you do hole shots every time vs every now and then. If you do some spirited driving every now and then no big deal. The simple point: Drive it how you want to. If you have a few repairs then just fix the car, no big deal. |

If a car is not given some WOT every once in a while, you are more prone to have excessive carbon deposits on the valves and other engine parts. Heat also helps to burn off any water that may have accumulated in the oil.

Constant redlining is only really needed in a rotary to keep it from carbon locking...... but its always fun in the Z too, i like to check my limiter still works. lol

To each their own...but....
It's just a car....a mass produced car....just drive it hard and enjoy it. It's entirely likely that the Z is FAR more capable than skill level of 90% of the people driving it anyway. |

But I live a whopping 5mi from my office, and my wife works at the same building, so I drive maybe half the time. On the weekends, my car only comes out of the garage if its raining and can't ride my bike.

So the Z is in the garage and a pain to pull out with the car in the garage and a single driveway, plus a damn cul de sac(minimum parking).

I have a 2011 with 15k miles, garaged at all times except for when I drive her. Is that a problem for anyone else?
