Just want to see how clustered the OD looks with 6 digits. Don't hate, I'm almost there myself.

Avenging Orange · 07-27-2013, 01:30 PM

Car still looks awsome! Congrats! And to hear all the griping on this site about how horrible these cars are, its nice to see proof of a well made automobile.

tomlink · 07-27-2013, 07:23 PM

Congratulations! Many more miles ahead I am sure.

I have never owned an American car for less than 100K miles. Last one hit 190K when I bought my Camaro. I hope to follow your example in about 8 years.

LimaCharlie · 07-28-2013, 12:11 AM

Wow! I think you have the world's highest mileage Gen 5 Camaro.

myold88 · 07-28-2013, 08:53 AM

Sure out shines the guys saving their Camaros for someone else...

Thanks everyone. I updated the original post with a picture of the "crowded" odometer.

I have loved every minute of driving this car. Rain, snow, hail, nothing phases it. It is an awesome car.

The side gills look fine, it is the front end that needs work. If you get close it looks a mess even though I recently clayed it and polished it. I am looking at getting it repainted.

Other than that, nothing at all.

No issue with oil consumption.

I was afraid of that.

Sinister7 · 07-29-2013, 12:03 PM

Awesome! My 2010 2SS 6-speed had 115,000 Miles on her before i finally broke down and bought another camaro. that one is also a 2010 2SS, but this one is just Supercharged

. with my previous car i had no issues at all engine wise. all i had to replace was my battery and my HID bulb went out. thats all. lol congrats man

JayRayMay22 · 07-29-2013, 04:43 PM

Wow this is great news! I just bought a 2011 Camaro LT1 RS with 14K miles and am happy to hear that we have a long future ahead of us! This is my first time owning a Camaro (let alone any nice car), and day after day I walk out not believing it's actually mine! Loving it so far!

JOHNREX · 09-10-2013, 12:07 AM

Keep it going buddy!

I got 175,000 on my SS!!! Not sure if anyone beat me yet lol

ben3350 · 09-10-2013, 12:48 AM

I'm sitting right at 126,400 miles at the moment. And hopefully many more to come!

I'm actually just about to start doing some mods for the car this week. I may be a bit late, but who cares!

But yes my car has a ton of miles and has never had any major issues whatsoever. It's still got another 100k in it, I believe. And I love the ABM color so much, I plan to rebuild whenever the engine/tran eventually gives up.

The exterior is almost spotless. I don't even wash as much as I should, maybe twice a month. Just do normal oil changes and routine maintenance. Nothing special, in fact I'm used to driving indestructible hondas so I'm not even the kind of person to go out of my way to maintain other than the bare minimum. This car just keeps going strong.

The ABM color is just as beautiful as it was the day it was born and I still get complements daily about the looks.

shrinkdoc · 09-10-2013, 09:36 PM

Not really impressed..125k is not a lot in todays standards and the timing chain replacement at 100k is really just unacceptable. Maybe a GM rep can respond and explain why the timing chains are not holding up.
