I've got 103,000 miles and most likely a lot of that was lightly modified, about the last 15-20k miles it's been pretty heavily modified.

The car has 86,000 miles on it now..two years ago it had 10,000 miles on it...I just can't drive a dull car...so it gets put on the road every day..only been to the track 3 or 4 times..the rest is street miles..lots of highway miles..it has been bullet proof...the whole car has been great..still has orginal battery too...had to replace the clutch at 75K..I was surprised it lasted that long..

..but outside of that never any problems..

2002 SS, 26k miles

Driven very hard, raced from day one, most the time with slicks

highly modded, engine blew when i was making near 400rwhp

engine was a total loss, lifter turned sideways and froze, sending metal all over the motor.

now i've got 16k on my new forged motor. it's still running strong
