There is no car that is immune to issues at the track.
Yup, that is my take too. I knew about the oil consumption issues with the GT350, but I bought anyways because there's something called a factory warranty (and extended warranty) which keeps you protected for a good 3-6 years depending on what package you get. The longest I ever kept a car was my E92 m3 and that was for 5 years. Sold it while I was still in my extended warranty period. If this car gives me constant issues, I will get rid of it and move on. But for now, I'm loving it.
