I am seriously considering this:
but what do you guys think the longevity of the motor will be after some time with this installed? Will it burn out in 25k miles (this car WILL be a daily driver)
OR will it most likely last till 150-200K w/ Good Maintenence?

Also, I would assume VRP has no in house financing, but I was wondering if that option was there?
Thank you......

Yes, the engine will be stressed out a little more than usual, but you gotta remember..... these AMG engines are built very strong and have no problem handling the extra power. Also, VRP designs and engineers very high quality products, so I really don't think the you'll have motor longevity problem.

The largest variables are the amount of boost you end up running and the stress on the tranny. The remainder of those mods just help the beast breathe a little better.

Worst case scenario is you blow it up and then have to buy a new one, which in light of the recent 211 amg pricing would be cheaper than replacing the engine.

So you think this engine (w AMG so-called bulletproof testing) will withstand the test of time
VS.
say, for instance, a 2006 mustang GT w aftermarket supercharger/intercooler, cams, headers, etc?

Or is the durability roughly the same?

Not sure there are any examples out there to know. Most people that do this much modding don't keep their cars past 50K miles.
