    I love my 2011 Z06/Z07, every time I drive it I am amazed how it pulls, and I have not yet brought it past 4,500 RPM...only 420 miles on it to date (don't drive it much)...but what a vette!

    What a feeling it must be to break in a brand new vette. You're doing it right. I am using royal purple h.p.s oil 7500 mi. now.Does yours takes 10 qts.

    Yes it takes 10 quarts, have not touched the oil yet, I will change it annually because I usually don't put more that 600 or 700 miles per year on my 'vettes.

    Why do I only drive it 600-700 miles per year? I want it to stay as new as possible...just one of those things I guess, to each his/her own.
