Smoke?
Wondering if anyone has had this problem before, I was driving my SC400 @ about 130-140 mph and I saw some smoke come out of the back. Looked white. I slowed her down to about 80mph and the smoked vanished. It was just and big puff of smoke. Any Ideas? Its a 92 SC4 w/ 66k and I drive her hard sometimes

It probably has more to do with the RPM your engine is running at than the speed you are going. See if you can duplicat it by holding your rpm's up at 5k+ for a little while. What color was the smoke, white? Might be a headgasket.

My friend said headgasket as well, But I checked the coolant today and i was real low so i topped it off and checked my other fluids i was good. Maybe it was because I had low coolant? And for the first Time in a long time it didnt smell like gas coming out of the exhaust pipes, it was steam and water? I am burning oil pretty quick as well, But I think thats beacuse I drive so fast all the time.
Very funny about putting the mechanic in the trunk Hope it was coolant

yeah it should be the coolant....from what i understand about the SC is that it flows all over the vehicle. And how often do you take your car up to 130-140?
