i got 175K on mine, and it runs like it's on steroids, with out the titties.
my my 99 M6 has 175k on it, and I expect another 50k easily, I dog the hell out of it, run as good or better than new. Just eats window motors at a 50k rate
I have a 87 iroc 5.0 with 200,000 miles on it and it runs great!!! I do not hammer it though.
im in IL as well, i just bought my 98Z with 102k on the motor, 13k on the speed ince stage 3 A4. SLP longtubes, SLP full exhaust, SLP 3:73s and other SLP mods. i paid $6500 for it. ran a 12.84 at the track the other night!! i think i made out ok....
My 83 z 305 had 232,000 before I broke the rear gears. Got a new motor now but the old one was still running when it was taken out, hardly any compression though.
i have 99 z28 it done 170000 kms i think there is not a single complete minute tht i drive it without giving full accelerater daily i have 3 to 5 street races my winning average is 99% :P lose one from corvette lol this car or else i should say LS1 engine is simply the best and the beast this is my 2nd camaro 1st one was Lt1 maunal tranmission 97 but i wanted ls1. Dont worry dude i dont know the prices of america if the price is fine u can buy tht car by your eyes closed :)
Yea, i love saying that the LS1 is one of the best engines ever lol but i mean bottom line is things break and we all know that, but i also think that lady luck has alot to do with it! IMO
A friend on mine runs a cab service. he buys up the old cop car caprices with the LT1. paints them yelow and drives them. He has several that have over 350,000 miles on them. He has one that has over 400k. He just fixes them and keeps driving them..The company has put over 250 k on many of them, stop and go traffic, Southwestern heat running the AC. He just keeps up on the maintenance, runs synthetic oil...The door handles, regulators, hings etc wear out, but the LT1 just keeps ticking..
I've got a mint, 70,000 mi Z/28 auto,t-tops,original mystic paint,tan leather,performance axle,chrome wheel car, I'll take $6500 for.
slight converter(i think 2400 stall)w/trans cooler
shift kit
magnaflow catback
airlid
It,s gorgeous in the mystic teal metallic (paint changes color in diff lights) Anybody know how many mystics were built?
depends how much u mess with the car, if a lot just get a tranny cooler. my car has 86k miles on it and it's going well *knock on wood*
i ran into that hesitating also i had to put o2s and cleaned the maf sensor clean the sensor first tho
Hi, I'm looking at buying a 00 z28 with 92,000 miles for like $9500, How long do these motors last? I drive rather hard usually but I don't wanna blow a motor or buy one that won't hold up for me. Would this be a bad car to get, i don't plan on modding it that much I plan on only doing a full exhaust and that's about all maybe intake, plenum, throttle body but most likely just exhaust. Any info would be great thanks guys. (I change oil every 3k miles and keep everything maintained as well...) So, will it last me to 175,000 miles? And do the transmitions in these cars hold up well? Sorry, I don't know much about the Camaro's and Trans am's.....Please help!
Thanks![/QUOTE]
Take a look at this if you want one example on a LS1 life expectancy
