Another 200,000 mile

That's right. My Camaro is 200,000 miles, so that means that is another one roaming the streets.

Re: Another 200,000 mile

Well congratulations both of you. 122,000 + here. Goes to show people that with proper maintenance and some TLC our cars can even outlast the so called imports.

My 2.8 has 217K+ on it. My Firebird is around 166k, and should see that 200k later in it's life.

Re: Another 200,000 mile

Just over 205,000 original miles on my 350 TPI (700R4 trans rebuilt at 176,000) in my GTA, still gets 21mpg & can roast my 315 rears tires. So she's not just "hanging on", but getting better with age!

Re: Another 200,000 mile

Congradulations! It's always cool to see another Camaro or Firebird break the 200,000 mile barrier.

My RS has 323,xxx miles on the orginal never rebuilt 305 & 700R4. Car had 4 miles on it when I got her. Last 600 mile road trip got 33.5 mpg which beat the prior best of 32.5mpg.
