So what broke? Piston? Rod? Oil pump?

I suppose we may never find out.....

I have confidence the tune was good. Not so sure on the gas that was being used at the time it was hurt but that is simply speculation.

All good things come to those that wait. As far as gas. The car was tuned for pump gas and I was running 1 can of Torco to every 5 gallons that was in the car. I keep a 5 gallon drum in the garage.

Should have been plenty of safety margin in the fuel.

Still doesn't answer the question....

I dont get what the big deal is, you broke the car, whoopie.. what was it that failed? Why is it so top secret?

To admit it anyway.

Rumor is ST Motosports '11 is dead as well. Heard it was just a couple oil pump failures though.

I've had too much carnage on my own car this year, I don't wish it on anyone. That's detonation that fails a piston like the one above.

That sucks but it will be built stronger and who knows if it was the tune the fuel or something else that caused it but thanks for finally posting it up

Heh, that's where the computer cut you off. Obviously the limit was lower

Insane power level man, takes guts to wring out a new car like that...

Washed the ride yesterday, thought i'd take a quick pic

Wow there is a LOT of sound deadening on the firewall of the 2011. I have no such animal on my 05!

 

[Twinscrewgt]

ITs more of a fire blanket (same as underside of the hood) than sound deadening.. .but im sure it helps

 

[05yellowgt]

Ah yes you are right. Didn't look close enough.

My old seats would look good in there...........................

 

[05yellowgt]

I'm going to try and hold on to everything for a little while longer I think unless somebody comes waving some good cash my way for the entire car. Market is just not there to sell anything right now.
