You posted this in the wrong section, but just vary your speed and more importantly your RPM's. (I.E don't just put it on cruise control and sit back and relax)

+1

This is what GM tells Corvette customers who do the Museum delivery. It has never been an issue. Vary the RPMs, and pull over now and then and enjoy that scenary/a meal and let things heat-cycle a few times.

Default thanks guys!!! loving this forum!!!

I found it after about to buy one with 15000 miles on eBay ... It had just been listed on eBay when I was about to purchase the other one. The guy said he was staying in Nashville on business when he bought it , than had to move to around Miami for business, so he stored it in Nashville and never had a chance to enjoy it.. he says now that I am buying it and going to drive it home he wished he had driven it more lol.... To late hehe!!! I can't wait I love my other z , but this one grew on me and I think its the best z yet... I don't think I will do anything to it but maybe a oem nav package.. I do a lot of research on z's and their history if someone needs help finding a certain model low mileage let me know ... I am a combat disabled veteran and have nothing better to do!!! Just message me... Thanks all for the feedback I was wondering what some of you have 8done within the breakin period !!!

Keep it under 4,000 rpm's and vary the speed home. I did and I still needed a new engine. Good luck and enjoy.
