Probably 128k on my car right now. Still drive it the way its supposed to be driven. LT4 Hot Cam Kit, PCMFORLESS, Hooker LT's. When racing on the highway its tached out to 6.3-6.4k (in 3rd) then shifted to 4th. When running on the highway I run my gears out. Power drops off at around 6.2k pretty considerably. These cars can take the abuse. Just let them warm up and your good to go.

Damn...I never realizedjust how few miles my Z has. It's only at 51k. From the responses here I'll be in good shape for a long time.

105k, uses no oil, 7 autocrosses, 20 to 22 mpg.

I generally drive my cars to about 150k and then sell them. Power is starting to drop off then but they still run OK. It made more $$ sense to sell than to rebuild. I'm planning on the Camaro going much further -- lower stressed engine, cheaper rebuilds, and a car fun enough to drive to make it worth it.

I just turned 197,000 on my 94 Z. She runs like a champ, other than when it starts, its having a hard time cranking now a days, think its the fuel pressure regulator. I'm going to Bradenton next week to race, keep the ol girl in your prayers.

94K on mine, I would not say easy miles, but they are for sure not hard miles, all highway!!! I will have this car till I die, I will never sell it!!!!!! I promise that! If something breaks I will fix it. I have had no real problems with mine! My silinoids (spelling???) In my tranny just went out along with my extended warenty. Owell time for a cam anyway!
