C5 Corvettes That Have Piled on the Miles

The fifth generation Corvette is a powerful, high-performance sports car that has remained popular in all the years since its production ended in 2002, and for good reason. These cars were built to last. Just check out this list of C5 owners who have piled on the miles.

WhY oH wHy do they let this guy to continue posting all these BS articles when it's obvious he (or she) has no clue about Corvettes, and I dare say, automobiles in general?

I'm at 187,000 miles on my 98 A4 Coupe. Dunno why these cars passing 100k miles is noteworthy, these same LS-based engines go past 200k routinely in work trucks and whatnot. I guess it's because a lot of Corvette owners never drive their cars?

My '01 was bought in '13 with 72k miles, now has 151k and will likely see 200k before I even think about getting rid of it. I drive it close to 9 month out of the year and as often and as hard as possible.

Unless I had at least 6 other cars, I couldn't see letting this one sit. I take the long way on purpose and often just drive it "because". I did over 200 miles on Friday going almost nowhere using the backroads.

WOW, the owner sure got his money's worth . I didn't think any Corvette can have that mileage with still original engine and transmission.

I just rolled 191k miles on my '99 Hardtop/FRC the other day. Still a long way to go to get to 1,000,000 miles.
