Default Early 2011 5.0 owners, any issues/problems outside of the manual trans?

I'm looking at an 2011 built 04/2010. I'm pretty sure that's just one or two months behind the first 2011.

I'm concerned about its reliability issues. I'll definitely be driving it pretty hard, lots of WOT runs to 60mph.

I push my car pretty hard all around and I haven't run into any problems with the car so far. The lug nut wrench should be replaced immediately since it's a piece of crap lol.

Other than that I love the car.

Mine was built around that time, maybe a month later, and I can honestly say that I've had zero issues. Got 24,000 miles on her so far.

Thanks. Its between two 2011, pretty much setup the same. One built 4/10 and the other 10/10. Issue is the 10/10 includes the $2k electronics package. I'm sure its worth it, but I wasn't planning on getting it.
