How long can you drive a sports car with regular hard driving, before the steering box goes out? I don't mean racing, track days or autoX. Just working it hard driving twisty roads. Not racing, but pushing it.
I'm still undecided to baby the car or drive it hard regularly. Kind of talking myself into allowing myself to wring it out on occassion. What's the point to owning a performance sports car if you drive it like a Camry all the time?
I'm asking because I had an old Mustang. It was 10 years old when I boughty it used. Not long after, the steering box went out and got very sloppy. What good is handling when you can't steer the car?
So I'm hoping to gain from the experience of those of you who owned sports cars, pushed them hard and kept them long enough to live with the consequences. Can you push your car hard or will the steering be shot after 5 or 6 years?
