So it finally gave up the ghost, one too many full throttle runs I guess .....

I had noticed a little cracking and fraying recently but I never imagined that the belt would literally explode, showering cloth fragments and rubber all over the engine bay ....

The car is still running, although the $7k under hood ornament is not doing much for high rpm air flow

Sigh, Stillen are sending me a new belt which I will be putting on pronto and NA is booorrrriiiiinnnggggg

PS I can attach pics of dead belt if there is any interest.
