Default 163,000 on my '98...

...and could not be happier. Major head gasket/timing belt service 1 year ago. Trouble free since then. I love these cars (except when I hate them).

Default Yes I was power braking.....posting numbers.....This was all on the GTech BTW

Numbers are better than last fall.
Got my numbers from the GTech.
Time should be dead on but speed would be a little high as the Gtech does instant speed and not a trap like at a track.
Only had about 1/4 tank of gas and the car was empty except me and my 200lb cousin who came over to watch me button the engine back together from all the work I just did.
The road that I run on is a county road by my house. You can see for more than a mile so its quite safe. Farm land around so no kids to worry about. The road is slightly downhill and flat one way and flat and slightly uphill going the other way.

Default 163,000 on my '98... that's very respectable too, and that last line...

"I love these cars except when I hate them" cracked me up. Amen!

Default avg for first 13 responses was 118724 mi/189959km, and including the car with only 18k miles..

it works out to avg distance of 111,530mi/178,448km. I'd say that pretty impressive. :-)
