Highest mileage Corvette?

[Vet Guru]

Any idea what the highest mileage corvette is in the UK?
I have seen some in the US with over 200k for sale!

Sayerbloke has more than 150K on his 98 Pace Car and not one of those miles has been done at less than 100% throttle!

Its true, the pace car now has 150K (although our name is Sayers, Keith is not Sayerbloke who posts on here!) Bought the car in October 1999 with 6k and have enjoyed every mile since although now going in for engine rebuild what a surprise!

I'm sure that mileage needs to be adjusted downwards because the odometer is attached to your rear wheels and from what I've seen they must have made 2 rotations for each rotation of the fronts!

Does that mean I have a chance of rising back to the top of this hall of fame on a technicality?

I have a C4 coupe L98 Auto that has full history for all its 156,150 miles. It starts first time and sounds like new! The engine is original and (to my knowledge) untouched. Unusually, it has cast iron heads (K82 option). When I put it on the dyno 300 miles ago it pulled 233 BHP - the book says 230 from the factory. I should have sold it a year ago when I got the C5 but havn't got round to it yet..

Hey Gary - a warm welcome to the forum.

The first year and a half of C4 coupes on L98's (i.e. 1985 through 1986 1/2 ) had cast iron heads. Then it went onto the 235 bhp ally ones.
