Dont want to post up his last name…he might not like that. It was a 1997 Red GTS, with White Stripes (Stripes were added last year)
The car had 6X,XXX miles on it, however the engine had been replaced (supposedly) 14K miles ago. The engine had a funny noise for a long time, but nothing ever came of it and nobody went looking for it extensively.
The car is pretty much stock, which makes NO sense considering what happened to it… leading me to ask the question; Who is full of shit about the “replaced” engine, or who did the most botched rebuild of all time. Considering the story that went along with the now “windowed” block, there is just no explanation that makes sense when you add it to the fact that it is a 14K mile old shortblock, short of an extreme defect in the factory forging. Even if it spun a bearing, it would not have done that amount of damage, that fast, in those conditions…which is why I lean towards a severed crank, or a piston that lost its bosses.
