High Mileage C7's
The way I look at the Corvette C7 is that it is a mass produced motor. They put it in various other cars. Which makes it cheaper to get spare parts for as they are more common. It seems like getting 200,000+ miles out of this car should be fairly easy right?
What are some of the high mileage Corvette C7's floating around.

This is the 1st gen with DOD system in place?
Will be interesting to see if gm figured it out.
because the LS DOD lifters were a Disaster.

I can only hope for 200,000 miles. But if it's all fiberglass and aluminum body/frame, with 306,000+/- '14-'18 years worth of parts out there, you have a point.
But no one is showing them off or claiming Hi Mileage to Mobil 1 or Chevy for promotion.

It's a Corvette! High mileage is not allowed! You are supposed to keep it in the garage under a blanket, and only drive it on the weekend during the summer when there is less than 10% chance of rain. Make that 0% chance of rain.......

corvettes are no longer fiberglass, they are carbon fiber and composite plastic

2014 18,096 miles and it is DD about 355 days of driving in CA. The other 10 days it rains so it stays in the garage to keep the raindrops from hitting the paint.

Over 85,000 in my 2014 “semi” Daily Driver. As someone mentioned, California offers plenty of opportunities. I’m hoping to get 200K+ out of it. Why not? That’s what I bought it for. Great bucket of bolts, I enjoy it.

My last C4 had 186K when I sold it... woman who bought it now has 250K+ on it
My C6 I traded at 128K.... car was in such good shape Cadillac Sales Manger bought it for his mother....
My '15 C7 has 64K+ miles
Update: my '15 C7 now has 84,700+ miles on it. I full well expect 200k+
