Im currently sitting at 65,000 miles with my 2013 GT500. I do have ford ESP until 2023 and 124,000 miles so that leads me to wonder what will fail and if there’s a sort of average for certain components?
•Rear end -I just had my rear end completely rebuilt by ford (pinion bearing fell apart).
•Engine - does the plasma lining ever wear out? Has anyone had an engine failure on a stock car without something glaringly obvious like a defect.
•transmission - my second and first gear synchros are pretty crunchy already and honestly I’m hoping they do go out sooner than later. My car is, again, stock 100% and on all seasons.
I don’t ever dump clutches or launch hard and being my third Tremec TR6060 I don’t rush shifts since I’m not a fast clutched anyway. (even at a 1/8 event for Ford I did I eased into it and ran a 8.710 - was made into a cool professional video shoot I have link if ya want)
•PP suspension Bilstein - How do these hold up over time? I’m glad they’re a less complicated setup vs my old BMW which was VERY electronic, but not sure if they do fail?
•anything else? I mean sync Navi going out is a given as are headlights id think?
Thanks evreyone!
