High Millage C5's?

Does anybody have 100k, 175k, 250k on your C5's? What's the highest mileage C5 on the forum?

(I did a few searches but I didn't find what I was looking for)

There was a post not too long ago with this same topic. Several over 100k and I know there is one for sure over 300k. I just took my valve covers off of mine with 74k on it and everything in it looks brand new. I hope it looks the same when I pull the heads.

Here is his screen name dgrant3830

Mine has 137k. I swapped cams at 132k, and this weekend I added a FAST intake. I suspect a clutch swap will be coming soon. I am adding 100 miles a day. It will take me a while to catch up to dgrant.
