last race of the year: VR4 v.s Porche

[youngvr4]

on my way home from loosing 30 bucks at the casino, just cruising on the freeway at about 2 in the morning, i spot a porche 944 turbo s.
at first i just pace him cause he didnt seem like he was game, so i just slowly speed up, and he does the same.
next thing you know i look down and were cruising at 100mph, so now i'm thinking "this guy has to want to race" so i let off the sound of the bov and spooled up to about 110mph, but he didnt bite.
so now i'm dissapointed cause i thought i had a race to post for you guys but this fish isnt hungry.
then to my suprise he lines up on the side of me at about 70mph, i look over and he downshifts and punches it, i then hit it in 4th just to see if i could hold him at a weak rpm. as i see its not working he's pulling a car and a half on me in a few seconds.
i downshift to 3rd at about 90-100mph and his car lengths literally went from his 1 and a half gain to me having a 2 car length lead in about 5 seconds at 120mph. i'm now at 6500rpms and my car isnt running good.
it never stays in the 6k area for so long, whats taking it so long to get to 125mph?
i look back and i still have my 2 car lengths turning into 2 1/2, finally i get to about redline 6900 rpms and i shift to 4th at about 123mph.
i feel the car vibrating really bad, wtf? so i shut down and he did also.
i'm checking all my gauges..... boost, heat, af/ratio, oil pressure everything looks good.
but my 4th gear is vibrating really bad.
as i slow down and downshift to 3rd at 65, the guy in the porche gives me a honk and gets off the freeway. my third gear seems to be fine untill i slow down and then 3rd starts vibrating, really bad.
i get off the freeway and 2nd is vibrating. get to the light and my house is 8 blocks away, but i see smoke coming from under the hood. fuck!!!
i pull into the am pm and pop the hood, oil is everywere, all over the top of the engine.

well, i'm sure thats my last race of the year, i'll need to save up big time and get this fixed. whatever it is. headgasket, blown motor.... it will be a few months before i get it fixed.

Don't take this the wrong way but that sounds silly. Sure you won but you blew your engine doing it.

shouldn't've been granny shifting.......and not double clutching when you're supposed to.......



Good kill sucks that you busted up your car man, good luck with the repair/getting a new engine....

i was just kidding about that man




i always prepare for the worst, so i just jump to the worst and say, blown engine or headgasket. in all reality, it could have been as simple as a hose coming loose and all the oil escaping out. i havent really checked it out yet, actually i'm about to do it now.

Let us know

Good luck on it being a simple fix. I had nearly a identical issue with my original motor at like 160K. I was racing a WRX STi and even though I spun a bearing doing it, due to my 10 - 15 seconds at redline. I won and I was prepared to upgrade at the time anyway. good kill and once again good luck.

That sux that you got the problems but u did smoker the porsche

[2000LS1Z28]

Good kill, sorry to hear about the problems though. That's why I hated the Stealth R/T Twin Turbo that I owned. Those cars are ridiculous to work on, not to mention expensive. Hopefully it's something cheap.

BTW your car is beautiful. I love the way it looks.

Definitely keep us updated on the motor status. I'm curious to find out how similar the 6g72 is to the 4g63, a motor which will always be dear to my heart, even with its copious breakages.

[youngvr4]

its going to the doctor tommorow, we'll see what the problem is and see how much the doctor bill is gonna be
