I know of an NSX with 60k TRACK miles, and it is holding up just fine with proper maintenance; I think a refreshed engine, trans and diff too, but still, 60k track miles is a TON.
The older these cars get, the cheaper parts will be. You can already get a longblock for under $3k that has hardly any miles at all, and the car has only been out for a little over a year. I was also looking at the cost of wheel hubs, which are about $80 a piece from Centric, which isn't too bad, and something I'd probably replace once a year or every other year depending on track use.
With my Miata, I planned on just throwing a new junkyard motor in it every 2 or 3 years, and when my first motor blew, it had 160k miles on it, and it didn't blow on the track, it blew on the street when the radiator fan went out and it overheated in traffic. I could get a new motor with less than 100k on it for $500 to $750, which I know my friend with an M3 pays for brake rotors every 6 months...
