Default New Owner Question
I just purchased a new (2025) Z06 HTC and to say the least, I'm impressed. I am curious if there is a "break-in" protocol? Additionally, are there any tips that I can benefit from those on this forum?

Thanks in advance...

Dave

It's all spelled out in the owners manual. Short answer is don't beat on it for the first 500 miles. Don't track it until 1500 miles.
