Some car really needs to be "heated up" before heading off, hence Nardi330's suggestion is particularly relevant.

My previous Accord Euro 2009 would be sluggish for ages until I really got going around a few block and even then the performance would still be up and down.

The 370Z however, the more you got going the better it is and it seems to break in a little better than the Accord.

So don't drive like a maniac, but don't drive like a granny either - and just enjoy the experience of your new 86!

I'd like to think the break in period is where you can push the car a bit and if there were any problems you'd best sort them out now rather than later.
