Believe it or not I am thinking about getting one for a second car, how reliable are they engine & auto tranny? I need something to put a lot of travel miles on with no problems so I'm not really looking for performance, just decent get up and go. Both of my LS1's have been very reliable and never even had a SES light come on! GM saw fit to get rid of the F-Bodys so it looks like the Mustang will be my next choice since I need something with a back seat, any info would be appreciated, also, what price did you guys pay for a new '02-'03 fairly loaded? just out of curiosity, how fast are they in the 1/8 - 1/4 with a stock automatic?

Thanks, Jay
