coming up on 88,000 miles on my 1995 camaro z28.. starting to have transmission problems, but other than that she runs like new. the only problems i've had recently.. the radiator had some sort of blockage and needed to be bored because it was causing heat problems.. and the power window motors both took a dump on me. i just keep fresh oil in it and run the fuel injector cleaner every once in a while. only mods are flowmaster and programming. i'm thinkin pretty soon ill rebuild the engine as a 383 with single or twin turbo :-D

190K miles. Original water pump...never lifted a valve cover on the engine. Tranny didn't go until 160K, & I beat on it. I've never had an opti quit on me.

The EGR valve started to get clogged once causing a rough idle. I had to clean it, & it took darn near close to 10 minutes. Crappy American cars... This thing has cost me almost $0.02/mile in repairs.



I want to buy a second one with 50K or so miles on it. Anyone selling? Blue M6s only...will travel to pick it up.

i've got 91,500miles on a 94 Z28,

so far I have just had the stupid hesitation problem, but i think im narrowing down what could be wrong...
but I have NEVER once had a SES light,
I have been really good to her, Mobil 1 syn. every 2800miles, nothing but Chevron high octain, since the day i have owned her.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME

Your car looks damn good man! My old LT1 has 171,000 runs like a champ. My friend/mechanic just put in a a electric waterpump,new shocks,crank pulley,thermo,O2 sensors,fuel pump and some other stuff on mine. Runs great! I paid $4200 for mine with 160,000 miles last June.

95m6 166k+ no worries here , broke down one time "that was my fault " other then that I have not had to do anything to this car and it still runs 100mph+ thrue the trap stock with a few bolt on's love my Z , also had a 94 formula and I had to change the opti on it and the plugs . But i dont think my Z is going to die anytme soon still runs like new and all the equipment is original " exept opti , clutch and water pump wich was replaced before i bought the car ". Very good cars exept the opti sucks

116K w/ a 100 shot , only replacements are fuel filter, opti, water pump, misc hoses, and the tranny, but thats my fault for being a weekend racer.
also fried the MAF w/ a N20 backfire, if u take care of them, they will take care of you

150,000 here. And that's through 5 michigan winters too.
Only things I've needed to replace after 100,000 miles were the waterpump (went electric), clutch, and the starter last week.

I figure it's well seasoned now, and plan on putting in a cam, roller rockers and porting the heads this fall.
