I haven't heard a lot of complaints about the Veyron-beating, LS-powered SSC Ultimate Aero and Hennessey Venom GT, both pushing well north of a thousand (not far shy of 1300 in fact).
the ssc had lots of complaints, some customers took legal action

How many of those have actually been built?
How many of those built have actually been sold?
How many of those sold actually get driven?
How many of those driven actually get driven hard?
How many of those driven hard have problems?
How many of those problems get publicised?

It'd have to be a pretty small number, I suppose.

With the exception of how many built and sold, you could ask exactly the same questions of the Veyron. They are almost all garage queens.

Exactly. And the SSC didn't nick the Veyron's record on the basis of mechanical fragility. Engines don't come more robust than LSs.
