AT A DRIVER EDUCATION EVENT IN KENT, WA, A PORSCHE TURBO HAD A FAILURE IN THE COOLANT FITTINGS THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO DUMP ALL OF ITS COOLANT ON THE PAVEMENT. I WAS BEHIND THE CAR IN A PORSCHE GT3 AND UPON DRIVING OVER THE COOLANT LOST TRACTION AND TOTALED MY CAR. THE SPEED OF THE TURBO AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WAS APPROX 90 MPH, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DOWN THE STRAIGHT-AWAY AFTER THE FAILURE BUT STOPPED AFTER REALIZING THE CAR WAS SMOKING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 996 SERIES
