14,100 or so on the 08' GT/CS. Only put on about 5000km's last summer and probably less this year.
|
The last two posts are good re low k's for the years of ownership
|
Yea, I only drive it on hot sunny days to the golf course and some summer evening cruising. Has made a couple of trips to Calgary and Edmonton, but that's about it. Plan to make one more Calgary trip later in May this year, to the WMS dyno.
|
The 5.0 is 14 years old and it's got 108,000 on the ODO.
|
Hmmm, I got 18000 plus in 1 year. That trip to California last year put on lots!
|
New car for me and I'm starting out with 14,000k. This is gonna be my daily driver in the summer so I'm expecting ~500 km per week. The 45 minute country drive to work is going to be fun!!!

|

|
well u'll probably all hate me but my mustang is used all year it's still brand new and only has 2000 km's. but i have an ac cobra that i only use in the summer for obvious reason's and that only has 2,300 miles and km's but miles so around 3,600 km.
|

Remember, were going to be dead a long time. So enjoy our time here. Plus i don't have time to clean my GT every weekend having 3 kids like most can.So i only bring it out on nice days to fix that issue,....i take it out after hours when the rush our traffic is down due to London drivers, (i've driven in a lot of cities/towns,and none are like London,just trust me when i say that :? ),and when i do take it out,i drive it the way it is ment too,meaning it sees some good 1/4 mile duty.None of this whimpy rpm launching,and shifting,i'm talking 4000 to 4500 rpm launches,and 6200/6300 rpm shifts,if it had a built bottom end,and ported heads,it would see the 7000 rpm range where these cams will work.:? But at the same time,i take car of it.Besides the rubber build up in the rear inner wells,most would think it's pampered LOL! I didn't take offence to your post,just wanted to give my two cents for someone like me in my situation. :wink: Some enjoy to drive them on a daily basis,while other rather sit,and detail days on end,and others only take it out to shows,and do some racing of their choice. Everyone has a different view on how they use their toy. |

If you can get away with driving it year round why not. We would hate you if you tried to drive the Cobra in the winter though. lol

I used drive my 1965 Stang alot during the summer I would put on 3000kms. But theses days I so busy maybe 1000-1500.

^^^I am guessing that will be my range. Lots of shows to attend so the k's pile up lol. People that know me will tell you I bought it for a waxing platform 99.0% of the time and shows the other 1.0%. When I go to a show I am generally sitting no where near my car so at that it's not a "look at my car" as no one knows who the owner is. I have had to yell 100+ feet for the odd dickhead to keep the mitts off but otherwise I am sitting behind Ross's Kevins kasioboys etc car shooting the breeze. I will walk over to my car every hour or so and dust her off as black is not a kind color at shows.
I guess being a professional driver for 25+ years and millions of k's later I do not find driving all that enjoyable to be honest which is like a mechanic coming home and having to work on his or someone else's car=not fun. I am a huge believer in this "if you enjoy driving yours by all means have at it" For me not so much lol. |

How can anyone not have fun with a supercharged 5.4 and 500 hp. |
I finished the car 10 years ago, I got about 20,000 on her now approx.

My old 5.0L LX, that I bought new in July of 1987, had about 15,000 km on it when I put it away in late November that year ... can you tell that I enjoyed driving it? :D
Don't think that I will be putting that many kilometres on the new 89. cheers Ed N. |

Sad I know but hey lol. I have already knocked on wood as I type this but there's not one mark/blemish on my car and it's heading into its third summer=yeah!:chacha:
