If an iron duke 6,as long as you want.
tlc and good driving habits will determine the longevity
 
As long as it has been maintained and has had an oil change every 3000, you should be fine for a another 50,000 or more. It really depends on how well you take care of the car and how well it has been taken care of in the past. If you always hot-rod it, it is harder on the car and things need to be replaced more often.I've had a pontiac that has 250,000 and still running great. I just make sure to take good care of it.
 
Despite what some may say, your car is quite reliable. The 3.8 Liter V-6's, both the naturally aspirated and (like yours -->) supercharged versions have been known to live well into the 200,000+ mile range with just regularly scheduled maintenance. I've seen a few with as many as 250,000 miles on them. And even at such high mileage, the GTPs are still great performers! (Even stock, they can completely annihilate many newer so-called "sporty" vehicles) As long as you continue to maintain it well and don't drive it like you stole it every minute of every day, the engine should last you a very long time. The same goes for the transmission and the rest of the drivetrain components. Have them checked out and the fluids changed every so often, and you shouldn't have many problems, if any at all. The body and interior, however, are another story. As much as I love the GTPs, GM interiors aren't the greatest in the world. Be prepared to replace some interior parts and maybe even some other little odds and ends on the inside and outside of the car within the next 50-80,000 miles or so. But these likely won't be anything major; provided that you keep the car clean and in good working order. (But keep a watchful eye on the seats, especially if they're leather... They're known to split at the seams at higher mileage...) So, enjoy the car! You've got a real gem on your hands!
