I always like the ones that complain about it happening, and list their 1/4 mile times in their sig.
I think it depends on how someone treats their engine. If someone constantly beats on their car of course it's going to blow; it's just a matter of time. However I don't think the 1/4 mile time has anything to do with it. In order for the 1/4 mile to blow their engine, it would have to be constant use, and that probably ain't gonna happen. Running a car at a track is an occasional thing, and is perfectly acceptable when figured into how long the engine's life span should be. FastCougar has said that he totally abuses his car (or something to that effect... i would check but neco is down yet again), and he hasn't blown any engines, trannys, or motor mounts... Granted he doesn't have an SVT engine but it's still a duratec... And i would think it SHOULD be less racing-friendly than the SVT engine.
