Question Daily Driven?? 11sec

have a F250 and thinking of buying a done 11.40 car on radials. kinda scared of the reliability issues. Oh yhea getting rid of the pu as the car would actually be cheaper. I have one friend {TXCAMSS} and they swear by the reliability of the car. Guess it's all a risk any time you race your driver eh??
Just wanted to get some responses from those who are currently diong it b4 I jump in with both feet. thanks for the imput....

A 11.40 car should have pretty good reliability.
