Is that a problem?

Sorry for bringing some sense back into this, hopefully the thread goes on?

I like to set the shift light to 3,000 RPM. That way I get that look that I'm racing, when I'm just putt-putting along.

I might have to do this. I just got a speeding ticket... my second of 2013. Before getting the Z, my most recent citation happened in early 2006.

To answer OP's question, I think driving hard in this car is kind of impossible on the street without entering felony territory. Full throttle at 6.5 revs can be terrifying, especially with the vibration in the manual gear lever.

And you should've gotten the 6MT. So much more fun IMO.

Wonka2581 · 11-07-2013, 12:45 AM

I would break in the car the way it is going to be driven. I believe if you break in a car as a turd it will be a turd. Go 1,000 miles change the oil and filter and beat that bitch.

None, but the factory recommended break-in says to keep it under 4k. It's all in the manual. You have read the manual, right?

It's 1k miles.

The manufacturer seems to disagree with you.

I know, engine break-in is one of those subjects that will be debated until the sun burns out.

Let's not turn this into that thread.

zeeder · 11-07-2013, 08:26 AM

I did a hybrid break-in where the first 500 miles, excluding the test drive and a couple of times, I kept it under the 4k revs and then I went to 5k revs and so on.

1adam12 · 11-06-2013, 09:31 PM

So what are we saying? If I'm going to the bar make sure I hit the rev limiter so I can get there faster.

DavidZ370 · 11-06-2013, 10:00 PM

LMFAOO, i wrote this at work and my boss isnt too cool with us using computers for non work related things. What i meant to say was is going 6500 rpm bad Before break in

A couple of times won't hurt anything. Just try to keep it under 4k rpm for the first thousand miles, change the oil and romp on it to your heart's content.
