I would say I typically drive it "spirited". I mean it's a 400HP pony car. Typically I shift around 3-4k range with the occasional pull from 2-4th getting on the highway. I had the clutch stick to the floor one time and since then I seldom get close to, much less go over 6k RPM's. I've done 4-5 burnouts after I got my O/R H, CAI and tune for no other reason than I wanted to. And I've currently got ~9k miles on her.

Bought my 2013 back in August 2012 and I just hit 5,000 miles last week. This is my daily. As far as driving habits I love going fast but I've gone to jail once for street racing in my younger more reckless days so guess I'm kinda paranoid now about going to fast on the streets. I have yet to take it to the track but I want to.

Holy crap, so your car will only see 5,500 miles in a year. That would seem very odd to me, owning/driving a car less than 500-miles per month, I might almost feel like I would be missing out.

My 2014 daily driver is 3-months old today, and has approx 7,000 miles on the clock already, averaging over 2k per month or over 24k per year.

That brings up a good point, if I worked somewhere that was just 5-10 miles from my home, there would be a good chance my car would not be driven hard much at all with less opportunity to drive it hard.

I will have over 23000 on my 2013 when it turns a year old in 2 weeks.

I bought mine in Feb '12 brand new and I have 5600 miles on it now.

I'm sure a big part of that is because the car has spent at least half that time down and/or in the shop for the build.

I've had mine since March '12 and it's got 9600 miles on it. That's 2600 more miles than I put on my 93 Cobra that I owned for 7 years. So while 9600 isn't a lot for most people, it's a ton for me especially in one year considering the car is just a toy that gets driven when I have the time.
