I like doing these, and they always seem to get a lot of responses, so here goes...how many miles on your car???

My RS was sold on Saturday, and delivered yesterday ....96,719 on the clock. Sniff sniff...

For my other cars (like anyone cares), I have 117k on my '95 3100 V6 Grand Am (bought with 109k), and it runs like brand new!! As for the Z, what can I say...absolutely flawless with 46k...

So lets see some posts!! And has anyone seen or owned an F body with the mileage I've seen (whether it is their's or not)??? How about 287k from an '87 2.8/5 speed Firebird?!?!? It came in for a sticker a few weeks back...3 owners, still has the original engine and tranny! And it still passes the dyno smog test!

 

155,000 miles.

 

85 Firebird: 141-2k 1/4 ml in last 2 yrs
95 Blazer: 88k
76 Bonneville: 134k

my old 77 T/A? don't remember, but had structural integrity of sheet of loose leaf paper

 

147,000 and struggling a little, but soon as I finish doing a major tuneup it should be better.

 

Just getting up to 111000! And still running strong!

 

162k on my sport coupe. She runs like a brand new car dispite the repeated daily thrashings I give it. Too bad the body is rotting off

 

Got my RS with 74,000 and now it has 74,600. Fun 600 miles, can't wait to install the suspension componants!

 

179,000
and 127,000

 

Mine just rolled over to 180,000 even. I'm not exactly what they call an easy driver. Floor it quite a bit, and street race regularly.


1992 Camaro RS 3.1L

 

185 k miles .
170 k miles -replaced motor
184 rebuilt tranny

 

My RS just rolled over to 100,000....100,168 in fact. It was kinda neat actually, cuz I came home from a party and parked in front of the house and my odometer said 999999, the next morning, I drove 1/10 of a mile and hit a stop sign,and it turned to 000000, kinda neat to watch, yet sad.

 

my 92 112K My 91 117K. Though I did have a 2nd gen 76 cam roll over 270K and still ran strong... sold it, never saw it again. Well on the road at least. The fu(king kid wrapped it around a tree!... MINT Z... I was PISSED. I spent too much time and effort rebuilding that car to have that snot nosed ***** to that to it. I shoulda known that a mid 40's guy would not want it for himself... GRRRRRRRRRRR

 

213,050 Whoaaaaa Nelly !!!...........

 

158,000.....motor's got either a noisy lifter or a piston pin knock. I hate that damn motor.

 

96,xxx miles
This car was never driven a lot. The farthest south it's gone from here is San Diego and farthest north is Lancaster/Palmdale. Once I get my insurance, (passed license test w/ 10 errors, 15 allowed), it'll be used a lot more. And hopefully, next year, I'll be able to do what FAST RS did, but w/ cheerleaders. (see sig)

 

91 Camaro RS: 51,000
87 Monte Carlo SS: 48,000

 

bought my 1990 3.1 bird with 70,500 back in summer of 2000, now its up to 104,000.....runs strong and doesn't miss a beat. the alternator and starter had to both be replaced around 80-85,000.

 

My Red 85 -- 140K miles and Chugging along (going to the shop to get that rough idle, lack of power diagnosed)
My Black 83 -- 154K Miles. Just finished the three year project of putting a rebuilt motor in it so after a MD Inspection it should be on the road.
My multi colored 86 -- ????? Miles. Not sure how many miles are on this one. Has had almost every removable body panel replaced. A new motor will be going in within a month then an inspection and a major paint job.
My 70 GTO -- 85K miles. Not an accurate mileage as my Dad changed the rear gear from a 3.55 to a 3.08 during the "gas Crisis" of '73 . This one will be restored someday
My wife's 93 Geo Metro aka "Smokey" -- 128K miles. Just had the head rebuilt due to a broken exhaust valve. Now it seems the piston rings are blowing oil (hence the name Smokey)

 

175,000 still runs as good as the day i bought it

 

dont know for sure it reads 65,990 but it does not work any more.

 

1990 Ponitac Firebird ~149,000
1985 Honda Civic ~83,000
1999 Mazda Millenia ~41,000
1996 Jeep Cherokee ~62,000
1989 Chevy Corvette ~150,000

 

1986 Firebird, original 2.8, third transmission: 230,000 miles, plus/minus a few hundred.

 

My RS has 46,307 miles on it. who here has the lowest miles on the orignal motor?

 

lets see, the original 2.8L = 235,000 (catch up tom. ) but it died . no biggie the new 2.8(2.9)L = 15,000, the tranny went for about 240,000 and the new built tranny is holding up at 10,000 so i'm happy and new ....

 

Catch up? Hehe, I'm already ahead, it's still running! Hey how much stronger is the new motor than the old one? I have a feeling my low 1/4 times are due to the "age" of my motor... and I'm sure the camshaft lobes are worn down to ****.

 

51,000 Summer only miles.

 

206.xxx miles and with no problems

 

hehe, nah tom, u still got 5k more to go . this new motor isn't quite as peppy as the old one was, or atleast i don't think it is, i couldn't break a high 17 when i went to the track, hadn't tracked the old motor. But, that ole' one probably would have lasted forever, the story was i dropped the car off at a friends, (didn't have tiem to do a tuneup) he's done a million of them, so i thought everything was ok, well. i come back to pick up the car later, started it, and the motor seems to be acting really funny, turned out that he put 2 of his 1979 Lincoln Cont. spark plugs into my 2.8L by accident, he had mixed up the batch, so the result was that the reach was to long and two of the cylinders whacked the plugs. definatly not a good end to a motor with no leaks, didn't burn oil, and was running stronger than ever. I so wantedto be the oen to make it to 300k. Eh, now i've got a new motor to try it on.

 

Bird - 120K. Car runs great with no problems except the ones I created (5-speed swap)

86 Vette - 38K on 400HP LPE 383

Dale

 

I had 13 mile on the clock when I got it.

 

87k miles and runs like a raped ape :sillylol:

 

I got 181,920 on mine. She had 112,300 on her when I got the car in May of 1999. Tranny died the next summer at 124, 995. Seems like she's running on borrowed time so I'm trying to sell. I'll hate to see her go.

 

This car must have been kept in a garage under a car cover! I bought The Blue a few weeks ago w/ 31K in miles. Looks good - Drives good. I am contemplating some suspension upgrades with motor enhancements. It Will Be Fun

 

bought it with 55,xxx miles and now she's up to 69xxx miles. =o)

Mark

 

Bought mine at 140k last July, just rolled over 150k this morning and it's sitting in the driveway right now with 150,016. Pulls as well as it did off the assebly line (probably more power w/ mods) I only have a slight oil. Pretty good engine IMO.

Killed a Neon today, but it wasn't really a race... or maybe it was an auto LOL.

 

91 RS 3.8L V-6 116xxx

94 Blazer 4.3L V-6 158xxx

91 S-10 2.5L I-4 225xxx

I just have to drive a long way to anywhere I guess

And I'm definately not easy on any of my cars I run the hell out of all of them I just can't kill the GM quality

 

71,455

 

Not to be offensive but I beat a 99 Neon that was a 5 Speed with my 1990 Mercury Topaz which is stock, I blew his doors off. We were racing cuz it was my friend and we had scheduled it. And if u can't beat ANY Neon with your Camaro then it's a disgrace to Third Gen's

 

"Not to be offensive but I beat a 99 Neon that was a 5 Speed with my 1990 Mercury Topaz which is stock, I blew his doors off."


Sorry but thats TOTAL BS TURBO BOY!. I have driven a newer 99-00' neon and your Topaz? (WTF is up with that?) would not stand a chance stock. And better yet they make like NO PARTS for it anyway. a Neon has a 2.0 if I believe. And can move with a 5 speed. I know I have driven one. A Topaz? has nothing. Not a damn thing. I know cause a freind had one and hell I did not need to get through 2ND GEAR to dust him. I raced a Neon not to long ago and it was a good race. I won, not by much mind you, but I won non the less.

"And if u can't beat ANY Neon with your Camaro then it's a disgrace to Third Gen's"

Theres just SOOO many things I can say on this one.

Heres one.. How about if you come onto a site JUST FOR third gen camaros and try to tell people your car has all this Shiznit on it, but yet can't provide not even one pic to back it up. Don't go to the board. Hell even if the LIES WERE NOT SO BLANENT it might get looked over, but common?... Sorry but I have been the closest person on getting a turbo install. I am also the closest person that has gotten headers made. Actually I did make a set. And now I have to make another set for MY TURBO PROJECT that I WILL TAKE PICS OF and might even submit it for tech article.

 

Ok Now lets be nice.
Ive heard alot of BS stories too . But I usually try to be nice (unless someone gets under my skin) actually some of it is actually funny . I've got over 15 years of automotive tech so fortunately I can tell the difference . And so can many of us on this board.
This is a cool board when people arent flaming each other.:lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

I think you have a problem and I am about ready to solve it, My friend has a Neon and I dusted him with my Topaz if you don't wanna believe it, Go lick your mom's ***

 

Man and your into incest.. What a winner we have here!

Theres only a 50-60 HP difference between the 2 cars. AND the NEON HAS IT. Not to mention it's lighter.

So if your tampax can smoke a neon it must be able to beat my 3.1, which in turn means you can beat a TBI V8 with mods(headers , cat back, K&N) done to it, as I can beat them with my car!.

Just do us all a favor and don't come back. I do not care for POSERS that FLAT OUT LIE.

 

Poser my ****en ***, Come to my town and race me, We will see then

 

From an outside looking in and my .02 and before this thread is closed.
It all depends on who's behind the wheel.

 

Yeah this thread needs closed.

But to the poser why in the hell would I drive over 1000(one way) miles to woop your *** in a race?

 

To woop?? LMFAO, Please. Just keep your breath and stop wasting it '***

 

dude 85... u sttill havent said what kinda turbo u run in there and how much boost...

i know for sure that camaro_hunter is gonna get a turbo into his car... we have even posted pictures of the headers we have made for it...

this is not tryin to offend ya or something ... but why not post ur specs and some pics and itll solve the BS issue once and for all..
.....

instead of fighting...

and mindya it is also luck that decides a race...
my V6 i won against a 98+ WS6 transam just cos he shifted 1-4 instead of 1-2...

 

I think IF he had the install, HE WOULD have pics to take... But you can't take a picture of something you do not have!....
