That's because owners of a stock n/a motor don't rev it to 5k and drop the clutch 20 times every day.

Sure... the motor will go 250k-300k if you drive it like grandma does.

idk, my friend drove his car probably harder than I do and it lasted for 280k on the original motor before it finally spun a bearing... of course, his was like more stock than mine is... Even then, his motor still ran, it just had epic amounts of rod knock, and was moving the head around lol

lol, I'll laugh when my stock displacement NA build beats you :P (EDIT: no wait, it's gonna be a 2.9 damnit, not stock displacement :P lol)

You forgot about my dad's 9 second Pontiac-powered GTO and the fact that he also has his own machine shop...

the first thing i did when i got my zxt running was took the muffler off, then the cat and the turbo whistled oh man it was a beautiful sound, i hate mufflers what the point of being a car enthusiast if you cant enjoy the sound of the engine?
