I've had mine 13 years. Super easy to fix. As far as speed it has enough kick for me with the baby intercooler; rockers etc; etc; I'm not trying to outrun anybody with it. Once i get my Charger RT i'm not even thinking about ditching it. For what? Like i said paid for; runs great; easy to fix. Hell it has rust, but it ain't no big deal. The things been on the road for 16 years what do you expect.
