These are old cars. It happens.

Hello everyone. I was exiting a corner and the engine stalled out. It wasnt loud like I thought a seize would be. I costed off the track and towed it home. Ill take it to a nech to determine for sure what the problem is soon. Other than that, it was amazing on the track as far as handling. It makes my M feel sloppy.

... on high-traction tires without an Accusump and/or a deep sump and/or with another type of forced lubrication, they tend to have oil starvation issues and generally fail by seizing piston rod number 6 which is the farthest one out.

Been there, done that.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Thanks. I think that is what happened. I thought it would only happen with full R compounds. I guess I was wrong. Amazing handling cars though. I'm more bummed out that I won't be able to hit the track and continue to grow as a driver. 😧
