I can honestly say, if mine makes it to 240,000 miles, ill be in awe.
At that mileage, no matter if it needs it or not, shes gettin a rebuilt engine and another trans, if its till going by then lol
Call it a restoration

I really think the more you beat on a motor the longer it will last, given that is you still take care of it. Every car I have ever owned got the crap drove out of them but I always took good care of them. But most of the engines Ive ran hard ddnt even have a chance for the oil to get dirty before it got a fresh change, & rarley saw temps over 165.
My last Baby was a 92 Camaro RS, went through three different trannies behind it (& it was a 305 to boot) sold the engine with just a bit under 200,000 on it to a freind who beat the heck out of it for another year before another guy got ahold of it & ran it with no oil a spun the mains.
