I love questions like this-- and so many variables. Look at all the guys with built engines, the majority blew the stock one to hell with their antics-- , same goes for clutches with the "Drive it like it was made to be driven attitude"--nothing wrong with that except the 5K+ price tag for the lesson. Beat on any car and it beats back-- drive it rt and it will stay together NP. The car doesnt need to see redline on every trip and there are examples weekly on this forum from Fand F crowd going around a corner "... and I dont know what happened". Grow up , get a grip and drive Normal.

Really? Thats the dumbest crap ive ever heard. 
I notice alot of people on here talk about beating on it cause i was built for it. Let me clear this up.....NO CAR WAS MADE TO BE BEAT ON EVERYDAY. They were made to be streetcars. Under this logic I could beat it up at redline everday, powershift, brake hard and they will have to cover it under warranty. If it was it would be a purpose built track car. There is only one car I can think of that needs a redline every other time you drive it and that's a rotary.

I DD like a normal human being 90% of the time. The other 10% I'm drifting it like a rockstar.
See my YT channel for more info. Also, maintenance is key - this being the common theme in the automotive repair industry. Fluids, filters, alignments and rotations.

Build it to handle it ......realistcally most of us are satisfied with a few boltons, some like me want more and pay more to enjoy the fun daily. Any car can handle most of what u throw at it as long as you know in certain situations when and when not to put the hammer down. Fwiw, my car sees 8k daily at least a few times, has for past 40 k without much issue. Maintenance and part choice will be ultimáte outcome of amount of depleted funds. Haha

I never said he should quit driving it lik that. I stated my opinion on why that was stupid. Anyhow, not a big deal.
