Closing in on 230K on my '03 (one owner...me 
)
I've replaced the clutch twice...second time w/the flywheel, which was amazing because the car felt like it was brand new after that (it was at about 170K at that point).
Broken things: passenger window motor, passenger door lock (killed two birds with one stone there), throttle body, rear calipers.
Can't complain one tiny bit about how reliable and well built this car is. Never would have thought for one second back in Sept '02 I'd still be driving it 14 years later, and just how well it would still drive. Mileage is still the same as it always was too.

Can't say as I drive it hard in terms of like, tracking it...it's just been my normal daily driver for 14 years. On the other hand, I have never babied it in the least. It has been down some pretty nasty dirt roads, has been on 5 storm chasing trips (which means it has been hailed on countless times and driven over all kinds of debris it shouldn't have been) and has plowed its way through 14 Philly winters.

Just hit 166k on my '05 Roadster
Issues:
Tears in my top (just recently)
Right front control arm worn
Tore the sub chassis
Right window sometimes will not stay shut
Dash peeling in some areas around the audio unit
In other words, dang fine car so far.
Pretty much stock except for:
JWT Pop Charger
JWT Heavy duty clutch + fly
Bassani Exh
Plenum spacer
Uprev tune
Thinking of adding:
SC
Tein suspension
Hotchkis sways

201K on my G, bought it at 200K. It didn't come without a few problems though but its sorted out. Luckily someone else has had to already deal with the issues that hit these cars like all the bushings, rear diff bushing, etc. So far the only suspension issue at all I've found is lower ball joints. Runs just as good as my new 03 Mustang GT did new and I had that car 14 years.

167k on my 2003 Z. Changed the oil, clutch, flywheel, and valve covers. This car is on track to be the way my 1993 Altima was 483k before my cousin got it t-boned.
