I have almost 120k miles on mine, drive it every day to work. It is a 2001, which works out to a bit over 50 miles per day, every day, it's entire life. The car is also raced, both in a straight line and autocross. I recently replaced the shock for autocross, not because of any problems, though I'm sure they must have been wearing. Clutch feels a bit soft (pedal pressure, not grip) compared to my dad's lower mile S, but as far as I know know this is the original clutch (got the car used at about 70k though). It is driven all year round and sees rain and snow.

Synthetic oil is changed every 3-5k miles and I have the local dealer do all the big maintainance items like diff oil and check the valves (it's all in the manual) around the suggested times.

It still runs like new (knock on wood) and am hoping it will continue to for a while

I'm sure this car is MORE THAN capable of going the distance, but I just hate to see that many miles on the ODO. I guess it's just a mental thing.

There was thread about 9 months or so back of a guy with 160K on his and the last 100K was with his Vortech S/C.

Modifry had 160-170 thousand miles on his motor before it went. He supercharged it with a non aftercooled Comptech kit around 60,000. He is in the process of getting another now I believe.

I asked him at a weekly meet if he was going to put the supercharger on the new motor and I think I remember hearing something to the effect of "hell yes!"
