GNXS who occasionally posts on here is about to hit 100000 miles on his Cobra and he has over 300 1/4 mile passes on the motor. If ford can do it then Mercedes better be able to!
I would certainly agree with these cars being very well built, and can take
a lot of punishment... but don't forget the IC pump
. I would suspect,
that as with most mechanical devices that the service life will be less the
harder the component is pushed. So, maybe these items last 100k instead
of 150k miles, or maybe they will fail sooner. But I'm fairly sure that they
will not last as long as they would were they running a the designed rpm.
BTW, real happy to see you were able to keep your SRT. Thought we were
going to lose a very valuable member when you dropped out for a while.
Looking forward to reading more of your exploits in modding and running down the competition.
