Here's my first trip. First leg was about 200 miles. Trip back home was about 270 miles. My bad back felt great the whole time. Love those seats! I think Tags out of town for a couple days with no computer.

I've had 2 trips so far...the first was driving my car home from Virginia, where I picked up my car, to Long Island, NY where I live...brand new Camaro, 300+ miles home...
The next trip was back and forth to Carlisle, PA for the Camaro/GM Nationals...250+ miles each way... I have a very bad back, and bought this car on FAITH alone...I had never seen it, sat in it, or driven it when I ordered it...  Having said that, it is the MOST COMFORTABLE CAR I've ever been in, HANDS DOWN, PERIOD!!!!!...plus, the heated seats feature works like a heating pad for those of us with back issues...the AC is arctic cold enough to keep the rest of you cool, while keeping those back muscles warm... DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE  this new Camaro???!!!Here are my "prima"Donna, now famous, LOL, "smilies"...

Drove from the Jersey Shore to Pittsburgh and back in one weekend. I think I had about 750 miles when I began that trip. I put on about 850 between driving there, driving around there, and then driving back. Trip was fine...went faster than normal in the new car...I think that's just because I enjoyed it so much!

Is anyone here being careful for the first 1500 miles or so or are you just driving it and not worrying about that, reason i ask is i plan on driving no stop as well when i get the car, but it will be highway most of the time

You shouldn't have a problem maintaining low rpms even if your at 100mph
