proud owner of a chicane yellow 370z^^
 
got it today. priced at 27999.00 drove it home. man it drives so nice. im so glad i dropped my rust bucket trans am off there lol.

amazing thing is after about 2 hours driving. i averaged 33.2mpg over 120ish miles with an ave speed of 59.8 had some 70 cruising and mostly 65mph. along with some 55mph zones. and about 3-4 cities i had to stp in because of traffic lights. but to me thats phenominal. though i know pure city driving is going to drop off. but i was on purpose trying dead on the speed limits and doing my best not to adjust speed to see exactly how good this cars mpg could get under perfect circumstances.

one question. i know with alot of the GM engines esp in my 2001 trans am. my mpg and such actually increassed after about 2000 miles of driving. do the 3.7's have a break in period like that also where they loosen up a bit and run a little better?

Welcome to the Z club and nice color choice might I add! I didn't notice any increased gas mileage after my break in period. However, this is probably because during my break in period, I drove like a granny, then after I was quick to test the car's power.

yea. i know it can be very bad on a new engines to redline is so im gonna take it easy till about 1500-2k miles.
