I had a 91 and the odometer stopped 192,xxx. It was driven for over three years past that. So probably around 230 and it still ran great and was stock, never been rebuilt.

I had a 86 that had 250k miles on it. The cars gaspedal or brake pedal was always pushed with full force.I would free rev it to 6500 rpm all the time and do 6500rpm neutral drops with slicks on it and you just couldn't kill that car. That was with the stock motor. The only reason it stopped running is because I tore it apart and didn't put it back together.
