Original Mileage
I just passed 107,000 miles on my original engine in my 95 vette that I use as a daily driver.
I'm interested in knowing how many miles anyone has gotten on theirs that's over that mileage so I'll know how much engine life I can expect.

Re: Original Mileage (R94 LT 1)
Original motor: 150,500 and climbing
Year: 1993
My engine is still running strong and tight. I figure I have another 150,000 miles on this motor. No smoke at all, no leaks (had the intake gasket replaced already. :D ) If you take care of the engine, the engine will take care of you. :D

107,000? It's barely broken in!
I just turned 118,000 on my '95.

111000 on my '87. Only puffs a little smoke on startup then runs fine. Think I need to change the umbrella seals.
