What's the break in milelage for a new 350Z?
I just bought a new 350Z(Silverstone of course) and wanted to know how many miles before my car would be broken in and what results should I expect. I had a 2002 Mustang GT and had to get rid of it after a year because the engine messed up( bent valves, something about piston heads etc. maybe got a lemon). I want to get your opinions on this subject, as to not mess up on this piece of ARTWORK.
All suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!

it says to keep it under 4,000 RPMs before the breakin point. Personally.. by the time i got to 1000 miles... i started taking it past 4K a couple times. I didn't want to baby the car too much. I think you should be fine.. but try not to take it up to 6K alot yet.

Once I hit 700 mls I ran it up towards 5k a couple of times. You shouldn't really have a problem, but I'd try to stay away from downshifting to hard in the future if I were you .
The main problem I had during the break-in was not opening up the throttle.
