How long do C5 corvettes engines last?

(1/1)

It varies, depending on driving habits, conditions, maintenance, and how frequently the car is driven. You can drive one off the lot and if you drive it hard without breaking it in it won't last 10,000 miles. If the car is well maintained, driven easily, not modified, and not left to sit for long enough to dry out the seals, the engine may last as long as 200,000 miles.

My '88 EA Ford has at least a million kms on it's original engine and still doesn't use oil!
