'99 Z28 M6 w/ 246K miles on it. Original engine and trans. I've been good with keeping the fluids fresh. No engine mods. Daily driver averaging 26.5 mpg on my 120 mile round trip commute.
The driver's seat is worn out and ripped, it needs new lower control arm bushings and ball joints, and I've got an oil leak from behind the intake. I'd like to get these items all cleaned up this fall.

115K here. My car was definitely de-modded when I bought it though. Unsure how hard it was driven before I purchased it with 110K miles.
Added full exhaust, LS6 intake, and some misc. crap @ 113K miles. Still makes me nervous, but I've accepted that I'm going to blow her up one day and I'm ok with it. Got my eyes on a AES 390 build.
