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!
 
I dont think Ill be much help because Ive only been at the track once. BUT Ive had my car since Feb. 22 03 and have had ZERO problems with it. I drive it EVERYDAY, it has around 12,100 miles on it. That one time I went to the track I did 14 runs, then drove home an hour and a half with no problems and havent had any since day 1.
 
Almost 90,000 miles, daily driven, sees the track about 10 times per year (about 40 passes/yr).. No problems specifically related to the track, but I have trouble iwth my A/C and my rear sway bar snapped. Aside from that, runs like a champ :)
 
14,500, not a single problem yet.


My '88 has 106,000 miles on it. I have about 100-125 timeslips from it in the time i have owned it. I beat the living crap out of that car and it just begs for more. Only thing to every break on me was a waterpump and that went slowly so i had time to plan for it and get the parts to fix it. Most reliable car i will ever own.

Hopefully, the newer stangs are like the older ones.
 
I have 31,000 miles on my 01. The only thing that I have replaced in the 14,000 miles that I have owned it is the tires. It wore the original factory Goodyears for over 28,000 miles. I drive it daily but I am also thinking about getting another vehicle to drive once I order the KB.
 
daily driven 12,000 miles (not driven really far but daily driven nonetheless) and problems include loose k-member and pitted spider gears on my differential (changed to auburn for cheap at a driveline shop and k-member fixed by ford for free) and i changed my tires at 11,000 miles because they were bald.
oh and about 25-30 passes at the track
 
04 GT
2,200 miles as of 7/26/04.
Drive 50 miles each day to and from work.
Took about 14 passes at the track last Thursday. Will continue to take about 5-10 each time I add a mod or two.
No intention to get a third vehicle. Wifes and mine are enough on the pocket.
Besides, what good is a Stang if it sits in the Garage 5 or 6 out of 7 days. :nonono:
Now a new Ford GT.....that is a pony of a different color. :D
 
even during Ohio winters. 100,101mi. take it about 10 times a year to T&T
