Well the day has finally arrived. The svt has made it to the 100k mile marker with no problems, knock on wood. And so far I've only had to replace the o2 sensors, batteries, and a few sets of plugs and plug wires. I know the major repairs on right around the corner.......hmm clutch, transmission, new suspension.....fun!

Just passed 90k on mine, headed for 100k way to fast! I'm putting at least 100 miles a day on it 4 days a week! 
I don't "mod" I just fix what breaks!

Unless you thrash it, you should still be good on stuff like clutch and transmission for a long while.
I'm at 150k and just replaced the fuel pump. Before that the water pump at ~80k. Other than just just regular stuff like a tires, battery, plugs, wires, etc. I don't think I even needed brakes until over 100k.

dbateman, you must really baby your ride. Don't get me wrong I don't trash mine, but after all I did buy a svt for several reasons. I'm happy to get 100k from a single clutch....I've had friends with camaros, mustangs etc that only got 60-90k on their OEM cluthes.

I accelerate fast, take curves fast a lot of the time. I don't spin my wheels though or thrash it, I drive smooth.

Clutches last a long time. On the 95 V6, I know it is not an SVT, now has well over 200K on the same clutch.

Yeah I passed 100K with no probems too. When I got to about 104K, then the fun started.
