[QUOTE="kawibrian, post: 15025051, member: 174864"] Picked up my 3.4L Whippled 07 GT500 with 37k miles on 9/14/2015 and since I don't know who tuned it or how well it was tuned I controlled myself by not beating on it and wouldn't beat on it until I had it touched by the magical hands of Bill over at Pro Edge Tuning. Have not taken the car passed 4,500rpm and 3 days after taking delivery I am smoking out the entire highway randomly and burning all the oil (see pics). Personally I think the head lifted, some of my buddies are saying cracked piston, dropped valve, motor is FUBAR'd, etc. It does not have a knock at idle, although it now has a misfire, puts off tons and I mean TONS of white smoke but it smells strictly of burnt oil, there's a layer of oil in the exhaust tips. Flatbedded it right back to the dealer (VW dealer that took the car in on a trade) and so far in 5 days the only thing they have to tell me is this, and this is verbatim what the service manager told me 10 minutes ago "the car is putting off a great deal of smoke, I think we did a compression test but I really have no idea". If anyone can lend a helping hand before I go ape shit on this dealership I would really appreciate it, I put around 150-175 miles on the car since taking delivery to the time of it taking a dump on me.
