Is there a break in period for the Z?

Shove some potatoes in the exhaust pipes and rev the car. Don't know what it will do but should be interesting.

I half way followed the break in period for my automatic 2003 and 2008 Z. Never had a problem. The Infiniti G37 has the same engine. I got down hard shifting it and running it up to almost red line. I smelled something buring so I have not shifted it since. This was done when it only had a few miles on it. So, I am not going to run my new Z up to redline till after the break in period.
