Not exactly real durable, but if you want the power you've gotta give up something.

Dave, I think I had heard of that car and that it was for sale (maybe from Brad?) Is there a web page or ad w/ details on the car? Do you know what price ballpark?

Durability is not a really major priority (within reason) for my next teener, but reliability is...in other words periodic "planned" overhauls or major servicing would not be nearly as much of an issue as frequent failures on the track.
