High Milage Perkness

alright guys, i am new to this forum and am tryin to get a camaro or even a trans am. i was finding these cars but they have high milage so i was wondering, are their perkiness in the driving good? like would they have loss power/ torque? if so, would a simple engine rebuild give it that punch? thanx guys, soon to be camaro driver. btw if this makes a difference the cars are v-8 with 120k miles

Bought my 93z with 58,000 and now it has 135,000 and still going strong... Before you by, test drive city and highway..... Hard and soft to find anything wrong...

With my current mods I recently put down 330hp/348tq on the dyno with 138k miles. Had the heads off at 130k miles and the cylinders still had the cross-hatch pattern on the cylinder walls.
So I wouldn't be too concerned with mileage

welcome n00bie
there are tons of cars on this website with 100,000+ miles running VERY strong still

like any car routine maintenance is key

i suggest using the search button at the top also you will find quite a few threads reguarding mileage and durability of LT1 motors as well as the common symptoms these cars have

good luck man, they are pretty stout motors
