Default Highest mileage C6?

Whats the highest mileage C6 you've come across?

I've seen some with a 100k+ miles for sale. Wonder how long these can last with the original engine and transmission.

The GenIII & GenIV motors are solid. My 5.3 in my truck has 224,000 and is my commuter vehicle, no leaks and it doesn't complain.

Take care of them and they will take care of you.

My C6 has 61K miles...

But the '94 C4 I traded had 186K on the clock. It's now living happily in another home with 225K miles. Original engine, original tranny, runs strong for a car with 300 HP.

I just don't understand people thinking these are some kind of fragile glass curio that should be kept in a china cabinet.

100K for modern cars is nothing now. With proper service and without abuse engine and tranny should last till 200K easily.

But it might have a tablespoon of oil in the intake manifold.
