Very nice car. FWIW the latest Excellence mag guide says 25k is top $ for 04 S. Condition, documentation, the 550 model, hardtop, etc should make this more if you can find the right buyer. One...

Could be the coolant tank in the trunk too. I had a coolant leak shortly after buying my 04 S and it turned out the tank was cracked. Mine was a slow leak and no overheating. Guess I caught it early.

From your description of riding the clutch (slipping it) in traffic that's probably the odor. It won't last long if you do that.

917, arguably the greatest race car of all time. For me only the 956, GT-40 and 250 GT0 are close. The early 917 long tails were vicious, aka "the widowmaker". The 917k was much better, winning...
