Chris-
I've never raced a Cup Car, however, did some research into them. As you may or may not know... I change cars frequently (LOL).
As for reliability, they would obviously require a lot of attention. Cost of repairs are very high... by any standard. The life of the motor and trans between rebuilds would depend upon how hard the usage would be... sooner if racing... later if just doing DE's. My ultimate decision to pass was that you would need sponsors to make it feasible. If sponsors were secured, I think they would be a hell-of-a-ride!!! IMHO.
