There is no such thing as high mileage the motor will go forever. GOD create the LS1 and He will say when it's done.

GFs car has just under 160k miles.. Passenger seat and rear seats look brand new, the interior is near mint.. Driver seat looks better than mine (i have 80k miles on mine)
Has ls6 intake ls6 cam full exhaust 373s and about to install a 3200 converter, runs strong as hell and never has a problem.
The body is in very good shape.. the front clip is kind of rough (black) from bug splatters and rock chips.. 500$ should take care of that though..

Looking/driving it you wouldn't think it even had 100k on it..

Although this was a 1 owner (ex mod from this site) that saw almost all highway..

Depends on the individual car IMO.. I have seen 35k miles car in worse shape than 100k mile cars..

I'd say once you get to 125-130k is high mileage. Most dealerships consider anything over 75k high mileage.
