Will be hitting 100k on mine in about 600 miles.

Seeing so many higher-mileage specimens just tells me that this thing will last a long time...as long as it is maintained.

Mine isn't perfect but you sure wouldn't think it's got that many miles on it...

Congrats on reaching 100k plus!! I'm sure that is 119k very happy miles and smiles. I'm at 109.6k on my C5 and will continue to put as many miles as I can.

I pretty much only see them on e-bay these days, but I believe similar are from Corvette Mods.
