I’ve owned and DAILY driven mine since Dec 2002 - includes 4x cross country moves/drives.
With a $1000 in mods since new (pulley, exhaust, tune), I have had a 460hp/tq car that has been above board for 90% of the factory cars out there over the last 17 years, including today.
I have spent approximately $2000 in repairs over the last 17 years that all related to gaskets, leaks, normal wear/tear.
wow, i want to know your secret!! because i've daily driven mine too since new (upper pulley cars), but for just maintenance and good parts alone i think i spend at least $2k ANNUALLY. (i average 1k miles per month)
and you're so right about street dominance. prior to only the last couple of years, since these factory hellcats and others that trap 130+ bone stock have appeared, i was always confident of being able to beat pretty much anything that came along. but now our cars need a blower upgrade to be able to handle them
