Well I just got the car,
but on my previous car I drove about 75 miles a day, had 93K on a 01, and only had to replace the clutch.
I made about 300 passes at the track with it.

All of you who drive your stangs everyday list your milage, how many times you go to the track a year and all the parts you have had to replace on your car from being at the track. Im trying to decide if i should get another car or truck to drive daily!

Click to expand...

If you have the funds get another daily, WY put miles or road rash on the car if you don’t need to. Another month or so the stang will not be my daily anymore. Looking to put 3k on it each year after this year. God knows how many passes per year

Ive got 22,000 miles on my 2003 GT. Only thing I have had replaced is some weather striping that fell off, tires (that got burned off ) and the MAF. Car has been rock solid other than that. I actually drove from California to New York with the 4:10's and had zero problems. I averaged 24 MPG ont the trip as well.

When my stang was a daily driver things that i broke or messed up in the city was:

suspension
clutch
tires
and the body

I know it doesn't sound like much but a lot of those things costed money to fix. Now i have a truck and my mustang goes out on the weekends.< If its not raining>

You'll be doing yourself a favor gettin another car.

well i really would like to hold up unitl my car goes out of warranty to get another car! but at the rate im going i will exceed the 3 yr part before the 36k miles! i have had my car over a year and only have 13kmiles on it! SO do you think i would be smarter to buy another car when my stang goes out of warranty? Hell ill have the stang paid off in like 15 months. (im a college student and i can only work 30hrs a week)
