[QUOTE="Johnny Raptor, post: 1661103, member: 12940"] So it’s been a few months since I chimed in on this thread. I Bought my 2013 SCREW new in 2013 and by April of this year had put 191K on it. A broken valve spring and a dropped valve trashed the motor, so I had to make a decision: park it in the boneyard OR pump some cash into it and keep driving it. Really wasn’t a hard call. My Gen 1 is a member of the family and I plan on driving it for a long time. After having a new Ford reman 6.2 installed in June, then installing the JDM 700HP Whipple kit last weekend, I can say that [USER=33355]@B E N[/USER] is 100% correct. It’s very drivable and almost unnoticeable around town and cruising down the highway. But, when called upon, it is a hard pulling beast and is definitely intoxicating! Honestly, I was surprised and a little disappointed that it had such a major failure at 191k, but sometimes things just break no matter how well they’re maintained. The bright side is that it gave me a reason to upgrade the things I’ve always wanted to, and it should be good to go for another 150-200k. [/QUOTE]
