At 125K miles, I missed a shift and bent a valve in my LS1, but up till then it was perfectly fine. I think 250K is entirely reasonable for an engine that's maintained and not abused.

I guess that's the other factor, whether the Corvette is an auto or a manual. With a good driver a manual Corvette should last just as long, but a lot of the manual Corvettes get abused so they often fail prematurely, whereas the autos are usually driven in a more relaxed manner (for the most part).
