Secondly, this is a Mustang GT not a family sedan. It is meant to be driven harder than a 4 door Hyundai. BUT i'm not saying everytime you drive it you need to go roast the tires and redline it, just saying have fun with it.

Our engines are really built no better than any other engine... Pistons are pistons, rods are rods, seals are seals, bearings are bearings... So it sort of scares me that we, especially those with manual trannies, rroutinely get up to 5K rpms in normal driving. Is this bad? Might be abuse...
Cold starts - Bad for the car. Can't help it..
Short trips - Bad. CAN help it. Take a longer route if its a shorter trip.
Burnouts aren't bad except for tires, its hard launching that slams on the rearend and tranny that can be abuse.

I bought it to have fun with it. If I wanted to just drive a car I would have bought a Honda. Not saying I beat the hell out of mine, but I don't think twice after I do
