healthy pony?
 

just heard the comment by a friend who, coincidentally, owns a DSM GS-T, that ford motors are shitty because they blow up. now, coming from the owner of an unreliable car, i chose not to let it get to my head. but are ford motors (specifically 02-04 4.6l) bad or unreliable motors? just got to my head so i decided to post it because its the first time ive heard that said

eh, its a topic to debate. Many users on these boards have raced and beat the hell out of their cars, and have way over 100,000 miles on them and still running strong.

Now if by "reliable" you mean honda reliable... then no. Avg stang will last to like 150,000 miles or longer if you take care of it properly.

Look at 4.6 Love and Icefreezer, they both had nitrous and think and would always go to the track and both of them have way over 100,000 miles.

Well i'm at 90k and the worst thing that has happened to me so far is I blew the tranny but the motor is still running strong. These motors can take a beating they wont blow up unless you really abuse the crap out of them.

ford motors are capable of hitting 250,000 miles + if properly maintained...

your friend is a moron

close to 102k on the ol 2v and the only thing that has taken a dump on me is my clutch...:D...other than that, 2v's are good god damn engines...:cool:..

My dad's 1981 Mustang, daily driver, has 250,000 + miles on it and still runs fine.

ford doesnt lie when they advertise having the most 250,000 mile + cars and trucks on the road
