It kinda depends on what you mean by "tune up". Traditionally, this meant plugs, points, condensor, timing but these are not "normal" tune up items on this car. Maybe a better response to your question might be: "There is something that needs doing each and every 3750 miles." I just round mine down to 5000 km (or 3000 miles). There are also many things that a "shadetree mechanic" does to this car that the "book" doesn't tell you. Those things will only help extend the healthy life of the car. But for a non shadetree, such a person should read the owner's manual and follow the schedule for "severe" maintenance. Very few people would drive a car under "normal" conditions.

The short answer would be that all you have to worry about is plugs and fluids and valve adjustments. Per xviper I would recommend the extreme schedule for ALL drivers, and I would recommend cutting THAT in half if you do any racing or track events. I'd even cut THAT in half if the car is solely a racer.
