Default Highest mileage Centennial Edition Corvette.........

I am interested in seeing what the highest milage CE Vette is. This started off a thread on facebook, where a friend said that I probably have the highest mileage CE Vette. Let's see if this is true. I dont care what trim level, as long as it's a CE Vette.

I'm at 118,XXX miles and climbing. I drive 100 miles a day.

EDIT...

I bought it at 46k miles 11-11-2016. So in 3yr/2mo i have put around 72k miles on it.

I have a whopping 27k on mine. I bought it at 2 years old, with 6475 miles on it after my test drive. I am retired so my morning commute is walking from the bed to the recliner.

Mine has like 15k on it. I have more cars than I can drive at one time, so unless the trip sounds fun, other cars usually go.

Downsides of owning multiple bfun cars I guess?

I suspect you're right about 110k being the highest mileage. In other weird uses, I knew a guy who had a CE as a dedicated track car. Said he had no idea it was a special edition when he bought it new, he liked how it looked and it was a widebody stick. He was absolutely loaded (as you would expect for someone who uses a 70k car for a dedicated track car) and didn't bat an eye or care at the extra price. He said he felt bad when he found out a couple years in, it was seeing 2 weekends a month or more at the track, lol.

My 2012 CE GS had 12,000 miles on her when I bought her in 2015 (happy fathers day gift to me). She's been supercharged (A&A) and had a Borla Sport axle back added. She's got 42,000 miles on her now and going strong!!

Your corvette is looking great!!! I'm the guy that bought your previous vented hood for my CE GS. I still have that hood on my Vette. Keep winning those trophies at the car shows...you got a winner there!

I will concur. I have the A&A kit with long tubes and make 602hp at the rear wheels. With toyo T1R tires I can easily break them loose at 60mph mashing down on the go pedal. Much better with my R888R toyos but those dont even come with a UTQP rating lol.

Such a beautiful car. I have always loved the CE package. My dream is to one day have a CE Z06.

Aproaching 119k miles and it still looks good. It does show the milage up close though. I had to rebuild the headlights and replace the fog lights recently. So far it looks like I have the highest milage CE.

I have a whopping 28k on mine and still love it just as much as the day I bought it. Mileage driven went way down after I retired 3 years ago and stopped my decent weather 54 mile daily round trip commute. It was just shy of 2 years old and had 6475 miles on it when I bought it.
