Serpentine Belt Ripped into Shreds!
 
Was tracking the 370z Base + Sports Package at the Sebring Interantional Raceway on the first warm up lap and suddenly the power stearing failed and the engine light came on! I felt the 1st loss of power after a hard turn #7 on the track, but we were all still at slow speeds. I was very lucky that it was only at a warm up lap. Mind you I only had 1500miles on the car. No turbos were installed yet or any mods at all. The dealership ended up taking all the cost....New belt, the tensioner was loose and all wiring for the oil sensors ect were ripped off due to the serpentine belt coming off?

Any thoughts or anyone else have any problems with the Sepentine Belt???

Hell No
 
Hell NO......Took off all the Numbers....Got it towed to a far location from the track and then had the dealer come pick it up!!! It actually worked!! They asked a few times about if I ever had tracked the car? I just acted stupid and said "Huh...What's that mean?" :ughdance:

Total cost of repair. Almost 3K.....seriously!!!
:ohsnap1:

their fault for leaving the tensioner lose, wouldve happened eventually anyway.

haha nice, i'm sure the tow to the 'far away place' was less than 3k, so you did pretty good!
