I just realized yesterday that my passenger window looked a little slow, I chalked it up to having the car off and putting both windows up at the same time, but now I'm not so sure... I bought mine Nov 9, 2000 with 16 miles and it is now pushing 99K. Drove it to hell so far, and that's including my roadtrip across the country. Stock internals, even plugs. At the 100K mark I'm doing it all buying the stuff now for radiator, NGK plugs new wires and engine flush with Mobil 1. Rear has always had a weird clicking noise but I still put down consistent 13.6s on street tires and no real reduction in my 33 lb tires (285/40-17 BFG g-force KDW, 275s in front) T-tops leak on passenger side and the rear seat panel on passenger side also has never been attached to the body for some reason. All speakers have put in their 2 weeks notice as well. But love it like nothing else...who doesn't?

Ok heres the story on mine. Bought brand new last Aug w/372 miles. Miles were because it was used in a pre-race parade down at MIS in Aug '02, and had to be driven up to my dealership (It carried Todd Bodine just missed Earnhardt Jr. by one car, damn it!) Yes I looked at it for a solid year before I bought it. Anyhow has 8400k now. Rims are starting to flake some chrome. It has never seen snow and as for rain about 5 times! (Warranty time) And OMG! If the windows are going to get SLOWER. Hell I may as well just buy the friggen motors now and have 'em ready. Maybe I'll steal my wifes out of her '01 Deville. Hers' FLY. Other than that.... Best/most fun car I've ever owned.

I posted a few pages back, said window motors were problem, but how could i forget...


DAMN LEAKY T-TOP!! Driver's side only leaks all over me in power touchless car wash and drips in the rain. A big enough storm causes a car wash like leak as well.

195K on my 94 3.4 (still going quite strong enough to teach ricers and a few bad 5.0 drivers a lesson). Soon to be replaced with an 395 LS1.

Only problems I've had:
Battery around 100K
Headlight bulbs (until I started using newer style 98+ bulbs in the housings)
ball joints
Rear main leaked around 100K, soaked the clutch

Mine lasted till about 167,000 with being DD and drag raced on the weekends.
Had a bearing worn all the way down to the cam lobe so it wouldn't of been long before I lost oil pressure or something went BOOM!

New motor now...168,000 on the body....

02 Z28 with 37k miles. Running awesome with the ear splitting TD's and dumped bullets.

Problems are: Light in glovebox broken. (previous owner epoxied the plastic piece that holds it and I didn't notice it)

One projector light went out.

Overall, a great running car with low mileage.
