Thinking more about the reliability issue - maybe owners are overdoing the power thing and end up putting what are basically racing motors in road cars - forgetting that racing motors need constant rebuilding and the power will over stress road going components - all leading to the need for constant maintenance.

I doubt if many of the racing Cobras in the 60's exceeded 400 - 500 genuine horsepower and now 600 to 700 is common from what essentially is 1960's technology.

If that's the case then maybe one should expect regular breakdowns.
