They get better the more miles they do. IIRC I am at 125k in my GTS.

Just broken in...... Dont sweat it.... You still have a 100K to go before your engine even starts to feel like its getting tired.

When you get past 300k miles on an original non opened motor like me, you can buy me a beer..

I was driving back from Arkansas in my GTS when it rolled 200K. It felt good.

Congrats on reaching an early milestone!

Mine is getting close to that same 100k, not-quite-a-baby-anymore point. So far so good, with all the care it's had and the great support from the group here. Seems like I'm aging faster than the cars is. K has volunteered to bury my ashes in it, along with a can of Diet Pepsi. I think where I'm probably headed, I'll need at least a case of cold drinks. Meanwhile the car is doing great.

My '92 GTS just went 222222km's so that is about 135k miles!

My '94 GTS just went past 54321... I had my camera and everything but was in traffic and when I looked back down... 54322! DAMN IT!
