someone mentioned being worried about the motor falling apart after
50k miles-if it is well maintained and not driven like a demolition derby car
it should hold up fine-i have 30k miles on my 06 5at and have done about
10 auto-x events, 2 track days, and 3 drag strip days and punish it daily
and it still runs fine-i still average 22mpg and best was 425 miles to one tank
with 1/2 gallon of fuel left in it-i have fuji exhaust and y-pipe, popcharger
and motordyne plenum spacer-with more mods to come(hfc's, headers,
computer upgrade)

i guess it must be my driving patterns that help with the mpg-i commute
41 miles one way to Orlando when i drive the Z to work, when my wife
drives it is 25 miles to her work one way-it is mostly hwy to my work
and backroads to hers-we both raise hEll driving it day to day and
usually get around 400 miles to a tank-if i don't drive the Z i drive my truck
or one of my bikes

This is very true.... Nismo with test pipes would sound really good at the rpm you normally drive at. They dont get too loud till you open the engine up.
