Hi,
I'm new here and considering buying a Coupe or Z06 soon. Since I'll obviously be putting a great deal of money into it, I'm wondering how long it will last me. If I buy a new 2002 or 2003 C5, treat it good with frequent maintenance and upkeep (but do drive it fast whenever I can... it's a Vette damnit), how many miles will it last me for? 100k, 200k, 300k? I saw a used C4 being sold with 300k miles, so that made me feel pretty hopeful. Am I right in assuming that the odometer on Vettes has enough digits to prevent 100k rollover?
Also, would the high performance (and relatively new) Z06 be prone to having a shorter life, since I'd be driving it a lot harder, and since it's so new there might be problems down the road that no one has observed yet? Somehow I feel like the "tried-and-true" Coupe would last longer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me... I've looked everywhere online but can't seem to find this info anywhere.
