I agree could never see driving a Honda every day, I like driving something with a good combination of power, braking, and handling which is why I used to drive my GTA daily years ago. These days I only take my WS6 to work if there's a race, show, or cruise I'm going to that night and leave my AMG for the daily commute.

I dd my 98 WS6, 100 miles a day. Today it just rolled over on 194,000 miles, original motor untouched, original trans, original rearend. The car has a few bolt-on's but the valve covers have never even been off. The car gets put through the paces multiple times a day, but then again I'm pretty particular bout routine maintenance. Also, my girl has kinda taken over my 01 WS6, which I purchased about a year ago with 78,000 miles on it. The car now has 110,000 miles on it! Can't stand to let these things sit around, they been the best cars I've ever owned.

It just goes to show if you take care of them they will take care of you. I beat the hell out of my 2000 WS6 for 3 years. I think the stock driveline had over 100 passes on it when i upgraded to a built trany and 12 bolt. Of course at that point i was only bolted and i think my best pass before the big mods was like a 13.1

I've daily driven my 01 WS6 since 2005 at about 160 miles per day commute. I just hit 250,000 miles. If your gonna commute, commute with power and style... I'm just about ready to spring for a 402 for it so I'll be getting home a little sooner....
I see alot of F-bodies on the road as I commute so i know I'm not alone.... Mines is well taken care of.... when I tell people the mileage they are amazed..... take care of em an they will take care of you.......

Not me. The 2002 Formula has 13,500 miles and gets driven about 500 miles a year to car shows.The TA has 137,000 miles is driven about 3000 miles a year to car shows and on nice days. I'd rather keep them looking pretty in the garage than drive them every day and worry about something happening to them.

From late March to early December, or whenever the snow starts to fly, I daily mine. Too much fun not to. In the months that bring the white death I drive whatever beater I have.
