I almost got a sonic blue one just like yours but backed out. List of things I dislikes: 1st gear ratio
6th gear ratio
seats
silver gauges
whine (I know I know. But I think it sounds like a firetruck)
HEAT
IRS
iron block
low compression
spoiler
likes:
nose, hood, skirts, bumpers
exhaust tone
power potential
As you can see it's just not for me. And I'm not meaning this as a bash! They just aren't my cup of tea. If I had one it would have the Eaton taken off, Mach 1 intake, and turbo. But then what's the point in owning a 03/04 Cobra?

It's rare that you hear about those motors eating bearings. Especially with the stock blower and stock crank pulley support cage.
I suspect contamination, or too low of an oil level.
Over the years I've pedaled my car MANY times without issue. I've done 5h gear pulls, sprayed on pump gas, launched of the 2 step, missed the 2 step trigger and rang the thing off the rev limit like it was my 2 step, missed 4th and went down to 2nd bouncing off the limit and wagging the tail, hot lapped it in FLORIDA heat, over heated it because an acorn got wedged in the fan... It wasn't until I hot lapped it with an AF of ~12.6:1 on 21psi of boost and a 75 shot that I finally killed the stock shortblock.
The photobucket pics several pages back were mine. The middle bearings received some bits of what I believe were from the oil pump gears galling the housing. The oil was a bit fuel diluted and the oil level was likely too low for what i was doing. Usually this causes a cam to lockup before any other sign that something is wrong.
Even running lean and detonating you're more likely to butt ring ends chipping the moly, expand a piston into the cylinder wall, torch a piston (all in that order) before you notice any hammering of the rod bearings or pinching off of a ringland.

...and to your question, depending on the light instead of watching the miles and doing it at certain intervals just sort of baffles me.
