High Mileage 370z Reliable?

My '07 Z had close to 100K and was strong with original clutch
My '09 Z had close to 90K when I traded and was strong
My '13 Z has 40K miles, but currently out of commission due to the mc/csc, but the engine is solid.

There are members here with 200k+ miles and still going strong (I believe 1 member even has 300K miles). Just make sure you are following the maintenance schedule. And if going FI, do it right and change out the internals also. Also, if getting manual, swap out the mc/csc (this is a common issue among manual 350Z's/370Z's).

That’s what I’m noticing going through other forum posts a lot of people are mentioning that they are pretty reliable past the 100k mark just wanna get some peoples input. If I do end up deciding to supercharge it I don’t think I’ll build the motor to start probably gonna aim for 500hp then if I go above that build the motor.
