    So... Busted my stock 175k flex plate racing a guy in a camaro that was talking ****. Anyways I needed to get the car to the other side of the state so I did the only logical thing and drove it 380 miles. This is the result. It somehow still started and drove normally other then the horrific noise. Im going to turn it into a clock.

    Oh jesus you guys make me laugh. It was a basicly stock beat to **** 98 camaro z28. The engine sounded weak so I went in for the kill. It wasnt even close. I was at the top of 2nd at about 6100 rpm and suddenly it sounded like a rod let go. I drove off and limped home to figure out what happened.

    We drove back together, side-by-side and if I hadn't known better I would have thought there was a rod about to say hello out the bottom of the car.
