maybe it's just me but I think I have seen more posts about GT having more probs than STs. Am I just imagining it ?

I know they are both some of the most reliable engines ever, but, which is more reliable long term ?

My opinion is that GT owners have most likely driven their cars harder (more wear and tear) than ST owners. If your car has the power you are more likely to use it more often. People with a 7a probably aren't going to push it because, well, they aren't going to get the results they want and probably accept it. I think you are more likely to find a more abused GT than an ST.

If you find a babied GT or a babied ST, which would last longer ?

what do you all think ?

Both engines are pretty bomb proof, typical japanese reliability, niether will let you down in a hurry. What I will say is though, which a few might disagree with, because the ST has less power I`d say that the ST would have been driven harder because you need to push them that much more/harder to get anywhere near the same out of them performance wise as the GT. If either one dose break down many of the parts are common anyway or will cost roughly the same to replace. I think the only thing you have to worry about is which badge you want on the back. As to which would last longer, I`d vote for the GT but only cause I know from my own driving style I would have to push the ST to its limits everytime I drove it to get some fun out of it, I`d probably kill it pretty quick.
