07 at 7K: Opening up?
Maybe it's just me. My 07 just hit 7,000 on the odometer. Honestly, I had yet to be really impressed with its down low pickup, but the high rev action was good. Lately, she seems way more energetic and fun.
Did she just need a little time to open up? Or have I been driving like grandma until now?

mine's at a little over 9,000 and it seems to be a little more jumpy and ready to go from the line; maybe it's just psychological.

Very possible, when I finally got on the car after I broke it in, I never spun tires from dead stop. Not even a chirp, I remember havin fun with a friend and I just took off and he was there spinning. Now I could spin them so easily and im in an auto.

When it's 45 degrees or colder outside the 07 just screams up top.
Much more so than when it's like 68 degrees...

i have almost 4,000 miles on my 07 Z car, and until about a week or so, i havent brought it over 6,000 rpms. Since then, i've brung it to redline, and the car feels kind of like it woke up from a nap :P This kind of makes me think a few hard runs is good for the z..

Ok, if someone can "feel" the loss of 5 or 6 horses, then you need to be a professional test driver. That is 2% of the overall power and most people wouldn't feel the difference of 20HP. I don't think anything "kicks" in at a certain wear point, and anything would be gradual.
