its no f-body but my gf's 93 civic has 265k she bought it cheap months ago. dont know if the engines been rebuilt or whatever. but that thing is really slow. no joke. feels like only 2 cylinders are running and 60 horsepower. i'm serious. i wanna see an ls1 with this much mileage. but much healthier ofcourse...

2000 Z28 with 130,xxx miles on her. And running 12's on stock motor/trans/rearend. 
The nice thing about F-bodies and high mileage is, that almost anything that goes wrong with it you can replace with a better part fairly cheap. Also most of us that have F-bodies dont have any problem with putting a new engine/trans/rearend in it as thats just an excuse to go bigger and better.

oh i got a decent one then. 165k. Don't know the whole history of the car so i don't know what has been replaced but its doing good.
for the record, I do believe I have piston slap. Kinda has that diesel thing going on when cold but stops when warm.

my 99 z had the squeekys; replaced the pulleys and had the alternator looked at when i replaced belts, i think nearly 2 years ago. alternator had a slight squeek, my rebuilder said forget about it. pulleys are still ok, don't really notice the alternator. 39k on my car:
Viper, what mileage on yours? And Camaroz, what oil you running?

So I get free **** so I run penzoil "high mileage" 10w30. The filters and oil there suck the only reason I use it is because it's free. I just keep my eye on my oil level and oil pressure because I don't trust the filter.
