It doesnt matter how old you are, its where your mind is at. Im 19 years old and that doesnt mean much. Im 99% sure it would be a piston ring. Do a compression test and figure out which cylinder. Is the white smoke coming from the exhaust when the car is sitting still, or is it coming from the engine bay? If the engine bay, it would be an example of piston ring letting it have massive blowby. You might have gotten confused with white smoke out of the exhaust because you saw it while driving. A piston ring could also explain the low oil, burning lots of oil.

He mentioned that the smoke is excessive, while the car is running pull the radiator cap ( before it gets hot) if you can see bubbles coming to the surface then it's gasket!

I think the problem has been diagnosed.

But ya, stop driving like a moron and race your car on the track, not on the street where you might **** up someone else's life because you wanted to prove yourself beside a viper....

Also, go back to school and learn how to write proper English.

I'm sorry but in any situation I wouldn't even waste the gas on a damn viper unless it's boosted.... Yet again in that case he may not want to waste the gas on me?. Just rev it untill you see something poke through the block.
