    I think you guys missed the spirit of the rant. I’m well aware of parts wearing out over time, general maintenance and normal ware and tare parts ect. clearly the concept of some cars being more reliable and built better or worse then others is lost on some of you. As the msg im getting here is all cars are created equal beacuse they all break at some point..

    meh.. guess it depends on how you look at it?

    I've had this car since 6 miles, and now has 129K and besides routine maintenance (fluids/plugs/filters/etc) the only things that "broke" were an Idler pulley (rusted bearings @ 7yrs), drivers tie-rod (corners to fast), CV joints (again, corners to fast), and the LIM fix. But for as long as I've had this car, it's been way better then expected as with reading all the common issues these models have. I guess at my mileage now, this is when things are going to start to fail, but thats expected with so many miles.
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!

    Nope didnt miss a thing
    You have had issues with your car hmm that sucks
    headgaskets arent a comon issue Unless you run the car hot
    LIM gaskets are an issue It was a faulty design dexcool+plastic gasket= bad design this is why there was a class action lawsuit over it

    When i bought my gtp at 175 still stock owned by a kid who took car of it
    orig trans no issues orig everything no issues

    If you care for a care trans flush/oil/coolant/struts/sensors and so on from day one your car will last you for an extremely long time UNLESS you mod then hard parts will wear faster these cars werent ment to handle 300 hp and a drag strip

    its an older car maybe it wasnt cared for so it breaks hmm all cars will do that

    98 gtp sedan forest green ,S1X intense cam,Intense pcm,Magnaflow exhaust, ubend delete,TEP trans 3.29's,3.4 smoothflow mps,Dyno'd 281hp and 371ft #'s of trq at the wheels
