Hey guys, I was looking at tweaking my mustang, but as of anything else, nothing with quality is cheap. With that being said, I was wondering about the car's durability. I have an 01 v6, I keep up w/t the maintenance, and it has 127,000 miles on it. Is it worth pouring money into you think?

My 01' has 129,500 and I have performed a lot of mods all after there was 124K on the clock and the engine is still running strong. If it is running good now, it should stay running good even with mods. That is unless you put to much boost or nitrous to it.

I'd say just keep up with the maintenance and add whatever mod you want, because after being t boned and salvaged my 98 has 200k and is still running as strong as ever and i'm the fourth owner. but like above said id stay away from nitrous.

How you maintain a vehicle tends to play a role in reliability down the road

Mine just passed 200,000 and is still running fine. I have owned it since it had 30k, still under Ford warranty! It's all in how you maintain it.
