Default Who has the most miles on a stock bottom end?

This got me wondering the other day. I recently did a top end refresh. My car has 128,000 miles on it. My old 924S had over 300,000 miles on it when I got rid of it and it was still running. I'm curious about how long the 951 motors hold up with boost.

If you had a timing belt snap please don't include that in this post. I want to know what a properly maintained 951 can go for. With the occasional boosting while driving aka spirited driving. List how often you drive the car, and what kind of driving is typical.

Post up what ya got.

216,000 miles when I started the rebuild. I think 40+k of that had Authority chips in it. PO liked holding the clutch down so the crankshaft was completely shot.
