Default High Milage on the S2000

I was thinking about what the maximum miles are on an S2000. The highest that I know is my uncles and he has about 57,000. So here is where you should post if your S2000 has alot of miles on it.

I figured since it's a honda it would last, but maybe it's cause it's highly tuned it makes taking care of it more important. If they die at 75K I would have killed at least 2 by now.

I'm not exactly sure, they never really found out what caused the motor to blow, but they narrowed it down to main-bearing failure?? That's from memory of what I read, I could be wrong.
Luckily his extended warranty covered every penny

I figure that on the average this is a 90K mile car.. with a range of 75K to 105K. Everything has to work 25% harder and spin 25% faster so that coupled with the fact the car feels best when flogged means most won't set longevity records.

Everything just works out that way. If you want one thing, you'll lose the other. You can't have both, unless your special
