200,000

Thats right I just turned 200,000 miles on my slowmaro. And still turned 13.5 at 102mph. I would like to thank Auto Zone Pep boys and All of you guys for the help with fixing the same problems with my car and mods

It's a 96 Z-28 with CAI, BBK headers and no cats, underdrive pullies, ported Mass air ends, and a 52 MM TB. The car sides on new stock stocks with BMR lower control arms. Bad thing about the car is the 2.73 rear. Sux for drag race, but good for my 200 mile round trip to work.

one tranny at 95K. slicks and 75 shot is not good for some trannies starter, plugs, about three coils, one map sensor iac.
two sets of o2 sensors. and got the u-joint replaced for safety.
and I think three batteries.

I think that is it. and a few more fuel filters.

Yeah if that opti is rollin around with 200,000 on it i think you should take it off and we should put it in some kind of museum. Anyways good to hear that our cars can be very reliable if taken care of correctly. But please DON'T THANK PEP BOYS" i hate them with a vengence. But thats another story.
