Ha yes definitely didn't intend to go that fast, nothing but straight away, not a car in sight, a little too much though. Was thinking about that this morningI remember when I used to get a way with that.....New Florida law, anyone over 100MPH goes to jail, no questions asked. I don't know how long before the jails are all filled upbut it has to happen soon.
This post will probably start a lengthy hand wringing session about break ins with my Z bothers here. I'm with this guy, break it in like you are gonna drive it. Been doing that 40 years and I've never had an engine failure. My first launch control in my Z was with 12 miles on the odometer125mph off a dig. Left a stack of show me's in the dust. Dude in a beater pulled up at the unfortunate next light asking what year, with a "that thing's sexy AF" comment
I'm all the time driving and people haul ass and get right on my bumper/pass me at a high rate of speed/take off super hard at a light...in a truck/Accord/beater...when I was going to the meet and I had my son with me, it was a stock Camry...I told my son, "Everyday....just like that..."125mph off a dig.

I thought 500mi was the magic number for most break-in periods; but hey I learn something new every day here. Someone says journals, I think "okay who's watching me?"This post will probably start a lengthy hand wringing session about break ins with my Z bothers here.

Sounds fine to me. Honestly, driving on the track is one thing, but on public streets it’s a different situation, with other people around and plenty of hazards. Many years back, a good friend of mine, only in his twenties, went into “the danger zone” with his Vette and ended up six feet under. Ironically, he lost control at a very high speed and plowed into a tree, in of all places, a freaking cemetery.I remember when I used to get a way with that.....New Florida law, anyone over 100MPH goes to jail, no questions asked.

Heh, sounds like Texas.
Being in a bright red Z, I get all sorts of beaters, especially with exhausts and large tomato juice-size exhausts and anime illustrations plastered all over. Gunning their craptastic rides at stoplights. That, and jacked-up pickups, sounding like a Freightliner, itching to take somebody on. I just turn up the music and ignore them . 
Dammit man! I guess I should be thankful they haven't revved at me yet, I'm not sure I could hide my expression!Heh, sounds like Texas.
My experience in Texas too with my old Mustang GT. Just so happens there was a pucHeh, sounds like Texas.
Texas can be some kind of special. I moved there with a 2018 Mustang GT performance pkg 6-speed, Roush x-pipe resonator delete. All I wanted was to look & sound cool.. lifted truck boys weren't having itDammit man! I guess I should be thankful they haven't revved at me yet, I'm not sure I could hide my expression!
Probably you've become used to it.
Yup, I definitely did a few launch controls and many high RPM exits out of corners and on-ramps just in the first few hundred miles of Z ownership.This post will probably start a lengthy hand wringing session about break ins with my Z bothers here.

You'll be shocked at how gross the differential fluid already is.
