Default New 08 Z

Been lurking around these forums for a while now...

Just picked up a new carbon silver Z enthusiast about a week ago, i'm not too good with manual, so i opted for the Auto tranny with the tiptronic shifter.

Just wanted to know, what are the guidelines to breaking in a Z? is it different for an auto or a manual? what RPM should i not go over?
It'd be appreciated a lot if somebody could help me.

Thanks.

1,200 miles under 4k rpm, no hard braking.

I'm assuming it goes for autos as well.

I'm sure the break in is the same for autos. You will be amazed how much you will discover about your car by reading the manual.
Did you know:
You can roll your windows down with you key pad, turn off and on the chirp when it locks, there is a hatch release under the rear strut bar, etc. etc. Lots of info here too.

Did you get an '07 or '08 and what model did you get? I think the only difference between the 2 years is the '08s have "lock" engraved on the inside door levers. Pics, pics?
