    Just because something is used, does not mean its abused. If you would rather have that mustang then the Porsche he posted, its probably something wrong with you mentally. BTW, since when has the mustang become known as reliable? What world is that in?

    And for $30,000 I have more faith in an engine i built, compared to an engine thrown together on a assembly line in 20 minutes. Warranty doesn't help you out when you are stranded with no $ because you are paying a ridiculous monthly car payment, that most can't afford anyway.

    Find me a bone stock unmolested 95 integra gsr with no bad history that has not been abused or a 99-00 si for that matter. The mustangs i have owned have been nothing but reliable never left me stranded. I have alot more faith in a factory built engine then any built engine i dont care who built it period! I know for a fact every thing is 100% brand new unlike a built motor that you dont know what corners have been cut. Even if you built it yourself did you tork everybolt to spec? Did you check every clearance? what if you made a mistake and misread a tork spec? your human it happens. I have alot more faith in ford fixing or replacing a engine if it were to fail underwarrenty then I will any engine builder or shop on the planet!

    edit the mustang i own now is 40 years old I have not started it in months I have total faith in it taking me anywhere I want to go with out needing anything besides maybe a jump from sitting and gas. I know its a well maintained car but its still 40 years old anything can happen would i take it on a road trip a cross country probably not just becase its a 40 year old car.
