So it is unlikely that you can get a high tech performer that is extremely reliable. Why? Look at BMW, Mercedes, and Ferrari. If there is something new that is simplier than the old, that changes everything. And if you can get a reliable hightech performer, its likely to cost an arm and a leg. Of performance, relibility, and cost: pick two. You can never get everything
Anyhoo, we've gone off topic with this now.

That is occasionally true, especially with cutting edge stuff like the DI fuel pumps on the BMW 335 that are failing right and left. (Yes I am cross shopping 335 & Camaro)
But my truck has at least 100,000 miles (it has gone 120k, but I bought it used) on the stock ignition module. Try that with points. Same goes for the injectors vs carbs.
