make sure you put in premium (91+ octane) and not regular like some cheap a$$e$ out there. but if you always put in premium then no you don't have to do anything special.

I don't know about Z's, but with my car I was told to check the oil level, boost fluid, and muffler berrings @ about 200 miles.

If it's hot where you live, make sure to add some diesel to keep the gasonline cold.

Pour a pint of rubbing alcohol in along with a full tank of gas. It'll boost your octane.

If you put some drain-o in your gas tank it will keep the gas lines from becoming clogged which could choke your engine...

HAHA ... before you do that you should make sure you light a cigarette before you start pumping, then pick up your cell phone and call someone, all with your car running.
