Extremely reliable. The motor's sealed, so, you can't mess with it which is really good on your budget. The motor will run 4 seasons easily with maybe a 5 HP loss at the end. A season would be 12 race weekends and maybe 6 test days. Compared to my Formula Ford that needs the motor done every season @ $4,500, 5 years on the FE - $5,000 5 years on the FF - $22,500 Brake rotors - 2 to 3 seasons vs a Z06 that destroys the rotors in 8 hours of track time. Brake pads - 2 sets/season vs a Z06- 1 day. Just using the Z for comparison, I still want one and would take it to the track. Tires are a different story - $$$$$$ no matter what car. |
