I doubt there will ever be one of those cars that makes it to that milage anyways. These type of cars never get driven.

That's definitely true. Only thing that usually ever needs to get done to an exotic like this is that the oil will need to be changed every 3 months because it doesn't get driven enough to hit the 3000 mile mark.

On a side note, I'd love to take one on the Gumball...

If I had a car like that, I'd be changning the oil at least every 6 months. It would take most owners 10 years to get 15000 miles on one of those cars.

and thats why they make it so hard to change the plugs

I think LT1s are probably the 2nd worst car to do plugs on, the SLR being the first.

If I can find the GM service manual, it says 8 hours for a spark plug change on the LT1.
