These cars are properly tough
In nearly 50000km of hard use, no, make that really, really hard use, I've only had one major failure (and that was an after market CF drive shaft).
OK, it has lots of preventative maintenance, and has a sh*t load of modifications...but there still isnt a squeak or rattle in the cabin, everything still works as it should, the body still feels tight and it cruises nicely on the bitumen. The gearbox is (so far) still coping with nearly 420Nm and 374hp. The aircon still blows cold on the hottest of days. And its fun. Love these things. |
