I was talking to my buddy yesterday about this exact topic. My car is stock, well the donor was a '93 Mustang Cobra, so it has a few added goodies. But the point is that I have driven the car 6,000 miles and have done NOTHING but change the oil a few times. It starts first click of the key, gets 20+- mpg, no tweaking, tinkering, adjusting, praying, etc. I honestly don't worry about the reliability of the car and just drive it. I bought my car to enjoy on my terms. I don't have the time, not the inclination to be constantly pulling engines.
The FFR concept; late model reliability, 60's styling was what made me decide on a FFR and I haven't been disappointed. In stock form these things turn low 13's, so compare that with other cars. Not too many on the road that could stay with a basic 225 hp FFR.
