Congrats! You will Love It!
People will tell you there is a break in period... But, I would take it easy for about 200 miles and then from then one go Wide Open Throttle when ever you wish!
I did a nice burn out pulling out of the dealer I purchased my car at... Ive driven my car hard since day one... 54000 miles later, no problems...
Enjoy it!

Congrats on your Silver Stone Z. People will go either way with the break in period. Some say you should, some say it doesn’t matter. Personally, I didn’t have enough ***** to drive it like I stole it from day one, I wish I had, that break-in period was very difficult to deal with. You have this great performance car, and you can’t tap it into its true potential for such and such miles.

Man I put 1000 miles on it the 3rd day I had it. When I hit 988 miles, I had a buddy teasing me in his car next to me, I couldnt wait I dropped it in 2nd at 45, and proceeded to redline 4th at 112 about 6 cars ahead of him. Congrats on your Z, welcome to the boards. BTW I have had no problems with my motor-burning oil or anything, wish I could say the same about my tansmissions. BTW that is one clean a$$ Mr-2.

I hate Snow OMG i hate cincinnati! im goin crazy ive been driving my old car for 2 days now and it has been brutal leaving my z sit in the garage! I want to break it in fast but damn 1000 in 3 day thats impressive! anyway tommorow is supooed to be sunny im goin to wash the Z and thur get it simonized and the factory front lip installed. I will take pics of its wed or thur and post them.
Also the MR2 of course is a Toyota, mine is the predessecor (*spelling) to the spyder. Ie. MR2 stands for midship runabout 2door or mid engine rear wheel drive. It was a fun car like one step down from the supra more like a go-gart than a Full GT. its a fun car but doesnt compare to the prowess of the Z. this is my 2nd Z the first was an 84 turbo i sold 3 mos after i purchased it because i needed money. Ever since ive wanted another!
