Actually, it's the GT500's with the issues. The other mustangs do fine. The mustang has always lasted well. Solid driveline, body, etc. The only thing that goes out is little junk like a window-motor here and there. I used to work at a Ford dealership back in '05 and we RARELY had mustangs in the shop for anything but ruitine maintenance (or a new auto tranny, which was junk). The new mustang should do even better.

FWIW, My dad used to drive police cars with the 4.6L (same as the mustang except cam profile and exhaust and tune, maybe a few other minor things.) He would beat the hell out of them. The transmissions usually died several times over his ownership of the vehicle, but the engine would go 2-300K miles every time.
