60--used to race bikes, Triumph Spitfires, and class D gassers back when I was immortal...[/align][/align]---------------------------[/align]Oh, 60k is hardly high mileage (it's only 15.5k away for me, that's another 4-5 months)--my '92 Miata has 185k with 120k of those sporting an M45 Eaton at 8-12 psi--the engine has never been apart and it doesn't burn a drop of oil; my dearly departed '90 had 325k/80k supercharged. [/align][/align]If I can't get at least 150k out of this Ford V-8 then I'll probably never buy another American car...[/align]

I used to drive regular chevy push rod V8's. The Cobra is a totally different animal. It feels really wrong to rev her up past 6,000-6,200 RPM. Kinda like the first time I rode a sport-bike after owning my cruzer, 14,000 RPM blew my mind.

sounds like my mom. she buys vettes (sold her 01 and got an 07) and NEVER opens them up. she says you're not supposed to drive cars like that. HELLO! IT'S A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE! GO BUY A SUBARU OUTBACK ALREADY!

hell no! i beat the living sh*t out of my car in the hopes that something breaks and i can get a new one! but the damn thing won't die!!!!!! [:@]

lol. ok not quite to that extent but i do drive hard. it's an auto and i shift it manually through 1st and 2nd. my tires have a 420 treadwear so they hold up to my beating.

I drive kinda like a grandma most of the time, but every once in a while, "you just need to feed a little speed into your ride", its a quote from a movie, but i cant remember the name, but it is a very true statement.
