A guy I work with had 140k on his 01 z28 and the only problems he had was having to replace an axle and the power steering pump was starting to go out.

200,300

Just about to change the motor. Only problem is a collapsed lifter. Never had the valve covers off. Still smoked a cobra the day it crossed the 200k mark, too. Been amazingly reliable for me, and I drive the **** out of it, day in day out.

Personally, if I didn't run a whole lot of miles, I wouldn't be scared to buy one at 150k. However, I run 40-50k a year, so I'd be a little more picky. I think my motor still has plenty of life left if I bothered to replace the lifter.

112k and about to drop in an ms4 w/ rodbolts, lifters and appropriate valvetrain, oil pump and t chain with safe tune. i expect to see 150k out of it.

when i first got my car with 78k i was skeptical. after seeing the power it makes at this mileage i would buy a 100k+ car with no doubts.

I ran compression testing at 100k and put out 170-174psi on all 8 cylinders! Relieved the moster after i tested cylinder number 7 last...haha.

Oh and we have a guy here in cs with a 97 c5 with over 200k that just went 12.60's at the track on the original motor and bolt ons with the m6! just dont let the oil pressure drop, keep good oil in them and don't let them overheat. THEY WILL LAST...

110K on LS1 I just put in my 96 Z. I plan on building up a LQ9 to put in later when this engine goes. Started fine and seems to run strong, does need a tune but for 110K not bad. Bought my 96 with 130K and it lasted awhile.

Mine kicked out a rod @ 135k (6 months after I got it). My avatar is the #6 piston and top half of the rod. All I did was start it. 25k on the 402.

90k on the formula and it drives better than a 2000 ss i had with 55k miles. mileage isnt the biggest decision in buying a car, id rather have a spotless ls1 with 120k+ than a rough looking one with >50k

Rolling over 140k here.... I'm not so fortunate. Since I have owned it I am on my 4th motor and like my 5th tranny. I just dont have any luck in owning cars (Metro sure looking good to me right now) but I cant shake the fever to drive my cars.
