The bottom end in my '00 GT blew up with 45K on it and no power adder, but I think it may have been due to poor oil management with the stock pan and high-G cornering and braking (I've got 13" brakes and suspension to the hilt). That said, I still love the car but I wish I knew for sure what killed the motor. It was never overheated, over-revved, or run low on oil.
If I were considering buying a new Mustang now, I would wait for the '05; it should be a much more solid platform to build on than the current car.
