Get this moved to tech... and watch out with the high speed crap. its stupid to do on roads and unsafe. many a friend of these forums lost their life because of something like this... Where exactly is it coming from??? might just be your lower intake gasket.

Didi you blow a gasket man? not good. let the car cool down and see if the water pump is leaking. hopefully it's only that.

Is your car spitting out coolant? or just leaking? is the car stalling and run like poop? or is it idling okay? let me know. then you can start

Head gasket. tear it down. it's not that hard. it will take you all day tho. get fel pro head gasket kit from autozone. while you are at it get new intake gaskets from there too also fel pro. Good luck

And yes, it sounds like a head gasket.

Yeah that's true. How in the world and where did you do 150mph? I can't even do 100 mph over here. but i live in Los Angeles.

Yes, which video game was this?

I've done 150 (closed course of course) with 3.73 gears.. along side my buddy's 350Z. Engine RPM was around 5000. I can't imagine what 4.10's are like... Luckily I didn't mess anything up.. Good luck
