[QUOTE="Norton, post: 16684747, member: 145307"] I know of at least 6 '13/'14 GT500s, including mine, between Colo Spgs and Denver that are regularly driven in a "spirited" fashion. At least 3 of those are modded with the usual bolt-ons and a fourth added a VMP Gen1 S/C and lower pulley. The first three all make 700-750 RWHP, while the fourth makes north of 800RWHP. Three of us (with mods), including the "north of 800RWHP specimen," have run our cars in the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack and the Colorado Mile multiple times with ZERO problems. That's a 0% failure rate in my world. While rods are probably the weakest link in our setups, the keys to longevity are tuner skill, quality fuel, and avoiding over-rev. If any of those is not followed, you're rolling the dice. IMO, that doesn't mean the block is "made of glass." It does, however, mean you need to know the limits of your configuration and drive it accordingly. [/QUOTE]
