Talking Life Begins at 1200 miles!!!

When I got home last night I looked down to notice my odometer sitting at 1200 miles. I just had to take a picture and share it. It's time to redline it in every gear and just have fun I guess! Wait a sec, I have already done this!! ......... Maybe it is not a milestone!! OH well let the fun begin anyway

Hopefully you didn't just "redline it in every gear" since your thermometer says it's 33 degF outside!

Tell me the difference in 6800rpm and 4000. I am being easy on my z and waiting until 1200 to rev it high. I want to know if it feels much faster above 4000 rpm's.

I'm at 1150 as of today I'll have 1200 in time for the weekend!

I took it up to 5,500RPM once so far passing some lamebrain on a freeway onramp.

What a day!! I should be in jail!! The 350 is an amazing car and my day of beating on it proves that. The engine begs to be reved. The only thing I cant figure out is why it feels like my clutch is slipping on high rpm shifts. I think we need a stronger clutch in the Z.
