bought mine w/152,000
2yrs later rebuilt w/180,000 only because I had the $$$ to get all the good stuff, it still ran great and when I tore into it, it still had the hone morks in the cylinders.

Full bolt on soon to be stalled Z28, never seen winter, all adult owners with 115K.
Going LE1 H/C about 120-125K

I love my LT1. Dont plan on selling until 160K+, maybe not even then.

Lets not forget that these guys drive these cars everyday. Thats what they were meant to do, they aren't Corvettes! Mine has 97,800 on the clock. Bought it in 2002 with 78,000 on it!
