Just took mine off for the first time to do a cam swap at a 122K, but I'm betting there area lot higher out there.

There are several C5s on CF well over 200k. The highest numbers I have seen reported are over 300k.

Here's one guy listing all the reported service work at 232k.

I'm about to hit 193k now. A lot of those miles were city, too. With me (a horrible lead foot) behind the wheel since 40K, I've had zero engine problems. A lot of clutches and two rear ends, though. Hell, I'm still running on the stock alternator. I think I'll have to make a big ordeal out of it when I finally kill this thing. It's never been run at a track, but trust me, it's had A LOT of abuse on the street.

They all seem so excited about it and all the guys on the corvette forum always say to drive the car every day and enjoy it instead of making them garage queens, but trying to sell a high mileage C5 to one of them is like trying to sell Kryptonite to Superman.

I'd take a hi mileage c5 but no one wants to sell for a decent price. They all want stupid money because it's still a vette.

I think there was a guy posted on here a while ago had over 225k on his fbody
