I have 140k on my 99 Z. No engine work ever done and only a clutch or 2. And no rear end problems either.

My Camaro is about to turn 143k miles. Still runs strong, but the trans has been replaced with a Jasper reman and they stuck in a tighter than stock torque converter that is killing my 60' times at the track. The car runs really well, no problems and I regularly beat the crap out of it.

Had a customer trade in a 2000 Corvette coup with 184,000 miles on it. He was in sales and traveled the road in this car. It still looked good but had a ton of miles on it. It ran good too.

I drove with a buddy from Atlanta to S. Carolina to buy a '98 T/A with 160k miles. The car turned out in great condition for it's miles/age. He bought it intending to sell it for more $$$, but he said it runs so well he's just going to keep it.

It's an auto, 3.23, black/black, new shocks, rebuilt tranny, He put some killer 17" rims on it and she's not bad lookin'.

Im at 101K on a 2002. Only real problem ive had were the lifter rollers coming apart, but that was cause of my old cam shaft. Oh, and the axles spalling. Im still on the stock clutch and the car runs like new. Shocks are getting a bit soft though.

Does anyone know how many miles are on Sam Strano's LS1 Z28?? That car has been "beat on" , but also very well maintained.

I think Jason from Texas-speed has 130k or something like than and is spraying at least 100 shot.

My car has 111000 and It's bean a cam/bolt on car for at least 40k miles. Runs great. Made ~390rwhp w/ 224/224 .565/.565 110+4lsa cam. I'm thinking about putting a 100 shot on there, but not sure.
