My old stang had 180,000 on it when it was sold and it still ran great, my parents big ass Ford conversion van has 240,000 on it and it still gets them down to Florida and back every year, and my Cobra has 170,000 on it, gets autocrossed twice per month every month, pounded on daily, hits 30 mpg on the highway, runs low 13's, and just keeps asking for more 7,000 RPM abuse each and every day

I got the Cobra with 111,000 miles on it and I've had it for 3 1/2 years now, I broke the trans twice by powershifting it at 7,000 RPM over and over again (which I was told ahead of time would break it) but other than that the thermostat housing needed to be replaced and the motor mounts but that's been it, everything else I replaced by choice to make it faster
