Not really a huge mileage as far as you gents are concerned but my baby (2000 White GTP Coupe) is quickly approaching the 100,000 kilometre mark...That's only around 60,000 miles, but since it's a jump to one more digit, it's a nice little milestone for us Canucks!

PS Oh yeah, original tranny of course!

As BryantGTP suggested, I don't know if I have the highest miles with an original tranny, but I'm up there.
I'm currently at 181K miles and still on the original tranny and engine. She isn't as quick as she use to be and her MPG has dipped a little, but otherwise is still running pretty good. I'm hoping to make it to at least 200K before I replace her.

i think its around 113,000 on her, but leaking oil like a champ after giving it fresh lube. probably going to have it looked at.
looks like it's coming from the valve covers and the oil pan gasket. i think it's more the valve cover gaskets though, cause it you can see it running down the block. i hope the valve covers will be the answer, because i don't think it's real easy to change the pan gasket without doing something with the engine.
the tranny still runs good though i guess, just need to have the filter and oil changed in it. that'll be another project when it's nice in charlotte.

That's about 30k per year. I have 13k after 5.5 months. That's almost on par with Marc. I live in the sticks. I don't usually drive less than 60 miles whenever I get in my car.

Regards, Gary in Sandy Eggo [/b]I drive a lot! I've made two round trips to San Antonio, two round trips to Kansas City, at least 16 round trips to Asheville, NC (900 miles a trip), a handful of trips to Upstate NY, plus I drive 60 miles round trip to work every day. Not to mention a bazillion little side trips every year. I average 30K miles a year pretty easily. I'm just a drivin' fool!! Marc

I have a little over 105k miles on my 98 GTP. It helps when you live 40+ miles from work. If I was driving my Grand Am to work, I'd probably bitch and moan about the commute, but I actually enjoy the drive with the GTP. Like Marc said, I'm hoping to get 200k miles on it before I replace it. The thing I'm wondering tho, is if its normal that I haven't replaced my rear brakes yet? I already replaced the fronts like 3 times, but the rears still look like they have some life left in em'.  bryan

I'm glad to hear you've all had good luck with your GTP's... mine's an 02 with 30,000 miles and the only problem is that my fog light burned out.
I love this car and I hope it lasts as long as yours has
