It's probably an early 90's car - 91, let's say. No idea on miles, but probably a lot, and they aren't gentle ones!

The DOHC cars are less efficient because they're more powerful - 100 hp vs. ~70 hp for the SOHC. I'm honestly not sure what else is different to get that power boost. Maybe multipoint fuel injection? I really have no idea. I just got the car for the GT body pieces.
