How hard do you drive your Z

You wont fully appreciate the car until you push it hard. I would say i haven't pushed my Z to the point of its limits cuz my driving skills are

Im sure this engine can run up to 250k miles, just look at the 240z....20 years still kicking a*s on the road.

I'm still in the break-in period of my Z but I still squeeze in some fun while staying under 4-4.5k. I can not wait until she's past 1200 miles.

When I had my G35 6MT coupe, once she was warmed up (engine and tires), it was fun time.

I don't see the sense in buying a sports car and not having spirited drives and tapping into its performance while still being safe on public roads. I love taking nice curves and feeling the rush of the engine and shifting gears

I had the same feeling. Pulled over, snapped this pic and then did a 1st/2nd pull to 7K. Eye watering fun the first time. Had to tone it down after that. Havn't had a car with this much power since my dad's 66 El Camino (375hp 396 w/4sp).

I sure hope so. I had put over 300k on my '85 300ZX when I let it go. And the engine was still fine. If the electronic "scoreboard" hadn't crapped out, I would have put quite a few more miles on it.

The most important key to keeping our engine in top running condition is to make sure that you are on top of your maintenance, most especially your fluids....By the looks of it, you're on top of it so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.....
