Ok cool, thanks George. I was gettin all worried, thinking I would need a new rear. How many hard launches, with stock gears and DRs, could it take though??

There are all kinds of people making hard launches like that all the time.. Just like i still have my stock clutch, and you are on #3... It all depends.....

I call Bull Puckey George is right It is how you Rip (Clutch) through the gears what is the hardest is initial contact RPM VS total engagement. I have seen blue Pressure Plates and glazed clutch disk from slipping. I bet yours is blue.

I do not know why yours has gone so many times... I know if I put some DR's on I will be kissing the clutch goodbye, but I would sooner kiss it goodbye then a rearend for right now.....

Maybe I just do not know how to drive, or maybe GM needs to put a more decent clutch in their cars!! Roy has been through like 10 already!!

As long as your past clutches were terrible, you will be fine.. However if you are a terror....M6 to A4 swap is next if you kill the cartek

Jack road racing is harder on the clutch do to heat and repitition. I have a stock clutch with A Z06 clutch PP/throwout bearing in reserve. I prevent slipping by side steping the launch and I can shift without the clutch if I need too.

I think he means letting the clutch out at once, by stepping off the side of it rather than raising your foot which allows for slow engagement and slipping.....

it was that damn slow ass WS.6 in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!
J/K:)
I dont know why my brake lights were showing, I usually cover the brake with my left foot(when driving fast, incase grandma in the opel comes out to pass), maybe I was pushing just enough to activate the lights
