If I'm just quick driving. I'll shift around 5500rpm so that I can take it a little easier on the shifts and not abuse the motor.

Actually, an engine driven 90% of the time at low RPM will hurt a LOT when you rev it to 7000rpm.
With the superior piston speed, the rods will lenghten a tiny bit. The piston rings will hit a small ridge (created naturally by wear) when they go farter up.
Not ideal.
Don't lug it, rev it !

just feeling the power over about 3500 rpm's is awesome . I love the Z. She puts a smile on my face everyday to work on the highway. I never knew of a 6th gear that pulled so hard

Don't why so many people are concerned with breaking it in then. Makes sense not to race anyone the first week you have the car.
