I know, I may try and find a civic or ranger or something for 2-4K in a few weeks.

Fuck that! Buy you a cheap piece of shit beater that you ONLY drive if the Mustang is down. I daily drive the shit out of mine. If I wanted to drive a Honda, I would've bought one. I'm putting 16-18k miles a year on mine and if it pops, I've got a back up until I can get it fixed.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I think your perspective on that would be abit different if your car was making 200rw more than it is now and your parts were as expensive. lol

My perspective won't change when I get to that power level. I built mine with a plan to make reliable power on a stock bottom end. When I go bigger, I'll have a build that reflects that same principal but on a built bottom end.

From that post, I suspect this is the most powerful car you have ever owned, am I correct?


"Built" or not, when you get to that power level parts fail more often. It's the nature of the beast. At the very least, when you have a high powered manual car you will have transmission and clutch issues. When you go to the next level of power, be it power, heat, vibration etc, you're always going to find the weak link in the car. Your car can be "built" all you want, but abad tank of gas or a hiccup in a tune destroy a "built" motor as quickly as a stock one.
