Can F-bodys Last Forever??

[CamaroLT4]

Just curious to see what people thought. My car has well over 200,000 miles....It runs and burns every car i race... I dont really baby it....BUT never the less the car runs like i just drove it off the dealership..Where are you guys at in miles? Its even a automatic and i have had the tranny replaced one time...There is NOTHING..i mean nothing like a GM car..

You have one of the LT4 Camaros with over 200k on the clock?

OT....

it's off the topic, but our 1977 GMC Dually has hauled race cars coast to coast and the odometer is ON IT'S THIRD TIME AROUND!

[Joe K. 99 Zeee!!]

I'm at 102K and the engine feels like it's brand new. Short list of problems so far:

-2 exhaust manifold leaks
-1 window motor replaced (I can see a 2nd coming soon)
-Driver's outside door handle is loose
-1 Tranny Mount Due to firmer shifts...May not have gone if I hadn't reprogrammed PCM
-A few problems related to me not replacing the coolent at specified time....Again my bad...

Not too shabby I think. I can easily see it going another 100K.

hahaha...I got you guys beat...big time. My GTA has 180K and my 92 Firebird...sold it a few months back had 256K when I sold it and still see it riding around. Sure, it had it's share of problems but man it was sure a blessing, I drove that car like other and held up. Aside from a new water pump and clogged thermostat, the car was free of trouble...oh an those windows. I hate those windows!

124K miles and when I pulled the top end to change head gaskets, the cylinders still had the crosshatching from the hone. It should be good for triple that. Mobil 1 synthetic changed every 2K.

we change the 10w30 pennzoil every 2k. the older, the more frequent.

my 95 bird has 110,000 miles on it and it hasnt had any major work done to it. water pump,and a oil leak,thats about it.i dont drive it till the weekend,im trying to conserve it for my son wich is born this november. it should be ready when he turns 17 and can handle real power.

My 92 RS has about 170,000 miles, and the engine is as tight and strong as ever. Engine uses virtually no oil. The tranny is starting to show some evidence of slipping when it down shifts getting on the highway or passing another car, but otherwise running fine.

Yes, It is an Lt4 back in the day....The first guy that owned my car had the record for the world fastest corvette. He did nothing to it but, gave it to his wife... (they were a arab family) he moved back to saudi arabia with his dad.....Its GOTTa be the weirdest story in the world...The wife put 100k in a year and a half... and then a guy bought it and drove the piss out of it. Then i came along and bought it for it for next to nothing $1000 dollars..

Im at 85k. I've had it for 1 year, 2months, bought it off the original
owner at 71k. Still had all the paper
work. Mobile 1 synthetic oil change

and slave is about to go in. and
replaced the passenger window

a dozen bulb replaced but the motor
is running GREAT! at 75k it dyno'd at
300.6 rwhp

Hey Camaro LT4 - What year and model is it?

[CGCBandit]

114Kmiles on the ol' 305 LG4 Formula

I have a 96 TA, and it has 125k on it. The rear main seal was replaced on it at 70k and the one of the seals in the front was replaced on it at around 90k. I have had it for about 2 and 1/2 years. Those 2 seals were replaced under a waranty that I bought when I got the car. I try to change the oil every 3k. I have been through 2 sets of tires, both Coopers. The first was Cooper Cobras, and the second is Cooper Zeons, both being z rated. I had a major tunr up also at 90k while they were replacing the front seal. I just put new brakes on it. Had to have my rotors turned three times because they were warped so bad. Now the only major thing that needs to be done is it needs a new intake elbow. It idles kinda rough because the existing one has a whole in it. After that hopefully it will run forever.
