Our 1995 C36 had about 100K-miles on 'er when we took it to the drag strip. We managed to duplicate, and even beat, magazine test numbers. Now, there are some variables including track surface, etc. However, the car was pulling close to 100mph flat in the quarter, which would indicate that the engine was making at least all of the 268 factory-equipped ponies it was born with. Probably a few more, as the engine was nicely broken in, but not worn-out.
