Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I drive the car fairly spirited on my daily commute. Car has also seen 4 autocross events, 2 road course events, 6 or so trips to the drag strip, and 1 drift event. The car just turned 26k and hasn't missed a beat.

Relatively easy. Only spun tires once for my best friend to play around taking off from a stop light. Daily driver and not driven a lot. I'd live to keep the miles low on her...had her since February and put almost 3,000 on her (1,400 of those were a trip to St. Louis and back lol).
Also got 26.2 mpg on that trip with a stock-tuned auto, wife and 2 kids and about 200 lbs of luggage in the car.
