3.8 ltr v6 from Ford is duty rated 200,000 miles.
I'd check on some wear and tear, tire tred, fuel filter, air filter, maf sensor, plugs, rotors/pads, tie rods, shocks, upping to a better oil perhaps. simple **** - but if the car purss fine, then it's no biggie.
Highway miles are good- you keep the car at a high speed, the RPMs are low... and don't really flucuate. so they don't put much wear on the engine. unless you're down shifting constanly making every passing look like a race challenge lol. City miles are worse because it's a lot of stop and go. wears the engine. so 95,000 highway miles are not too bad on te car, can you take it to the max? sure why not, car redlines before it really redlines so you dont usually take it to the max. will it last as long as if you weren't taking it to the max? no. but you can still have some fun with her.
just keep her under good maintence.
Is it automatic? might want to check the overdrive band, FORDs AODE Overdrive Band goes quicker than toilet paper. lol.
Edit: Nvm just saw in the sig, it's manual, just keep the clutch in order then the stock clutch can't handle... I would say more than 10 hard dumps. not a race clutch, might want to upgrade to a race clutch if your gonna be dumping it a lot or abusing it.
How many miles is to many?
