Default Most Miles?

Who has the most miles on a C-5, with the same engine and trans? I know there has to be some 100k plus cars out there.

Hey Glenn,

Compared to some others, my car is brand new...it's an '02 with "only" 47,000 or so miles...

I did have a Pontiac Firebird Formula that had over 176,000 miles on the original engine & tranny and all, and it still ran good. Traded that for my Vette almost 2 years ago...

Hi Joe, was that a LS-1 motor in your Firebird? Buy the way your vette looks great with the wheels, lowered and exhaust tips I was following you for for awhile Sunday.
