Miles on your 3.8L?
 
Who has a lot of miles on their 3.8L? The highest mileage 3.8L I've seen that's still running is 170k. Can these engines go to 200k+ like the average honda can?

#1 reason hondas make it that far. Old lady's drive them. ;)
I'd love to see a car that gets it's arse kicked on a daily basis make it that far. The boosted or riced out ones I doubt make it to 200k+

A 3.8L Mustang engine or any domestic will make it to 200+ if taken care of. People forget that, beat the crap out of their cars, then cry when their car breaks down.

I've got 114K right now and don't see 200+ as a problem.
