Certainly not me (I've only got 17K on mine), but there are a number of forum members that have 100K+ miles on theirs and some have 200K and 300K miles on the car.

How High is High??
Well...........
Some folks worry about a C5 being over 50K miles
Some folks see a 100k mile C5 as just being broke in
I've heard many responses that the C5 is designed to be a 200k mile vehicle. I guess it comes down to how it is driven and maintained.
BTW My 97 is at 185,000 and doing just fine. That includes a few autocrosses hear and there

My '00 has around 150K. Sadly since she moved from sunny FL to Vermont, she has to hibernate half of the year, so her mileage accumulation has slowed down.

I'm envious of all of you who have 'high' mileage C5's (or any Vette) for that matter.
I did put 87,000 on my C4, in the past.
And I intend to join you, in the high mileage club, with my C5. I've only had it a couple of years; but determined to enjoy and drive it, for many years ahead, both daily and on long sightseeing trips, with my wife in retirement (a few months away).
Anyone ever heard of a Viper 'high mileage' club?

Wish I could. I have no where to drive that much. Too busy with work etc. for a bunch of driving anyways.
