Why is it...

why is it that i compare my 95 rs camaro with everybody elses, and mine seems to have been ragged on. my car has 115k miles, and i have seen people with the same year car that had a substantially less reading! although, i did see that guy with 300k miles on a 94z!!!

was my car abused by me?

115k is kind of high, but I am sure the engine can go a lot further if you haven't been hard on it. If you haven't been flooring right after a cold start and changing the oil every 3k, your car should be ok.

115 isn't bad, the norm is 12k a year from what I hear.

I had 130k on my car motor was running like a top, and my car was run to hell and back.

i've only got 66,000 miles on my 96...but apparently thats pretty low. i'm sure theres nothing to worry about unless you were driving it too hard or not keeping it tuned up.
