Breakin period

mark1963 · 08-28-2011, 02:11 PM

I got a 2010 z last week. it has 200 miles on it. I couldnt control myself and flogged it a little. Should i drive calmly forawhile to break in the car. how strong is the transmission?

Your car is probably going to blow up now.

In seriousness, no issues. The engine is fairly well broken in from the factory. At 200 miles, you are relatively good to go.

The trans is fine. I'd honestly go easy on the engine for the sake of the trans for another couple hundred miles though.

Finally, this is the wrong section to post in. You should also search before posting--this has been hashed out hundreds of times.

We go thru this sh!t every week those that drive a car should know this and if they are asking this question then they haven't read their owners manual.
