So who here as got "high" mileage on their trinity cars? Is lower mileage considered higher on these cars because of the plasma lining?
I ask because I'm in a dilemma.
I live in Maine, so my car is safely tucked away from the damned white stuff we suffer from up here. But as soon as the salt is washed off the road, you can bet she will be out and running. But last week I switched jobs, and instead of being about a mile away from work, Ill be 31ish or so miles away. This raises a mileage concern for me and my desire to drive my car every day.
Sitting on 43k miles now, ill realistically put 10-12k on her this year. I'm not so concerned with value as much as reaching 75k miles and the trinity tapping out because of the plasma lining in the block. Obviously that would require a bit of a crystal ball to know when something might fail, and that's not what I'm asking.
Maintenance will always be 110% with me on her. The car might see the 1/8th on street tires twice a year, other than that just street driven. The car is also currently pretty healthy too. It put down 613hp, and 615 ft-lbs this fall. Only mod is a Borla catback.
Any advice or warnings such as be prepared for a rebuild at 90k? keep it under 100k? 80k? Should I just bite the bullet and make it a weekend/perfect day driver to keep my check book safe and mileage down?
I know Shelby said to drive the cars, and that's really what I want to do!
