So, i went to the track last night with my newly acquired hoosiers..
first pass of the night was a 12.8 @ 112 with a 1.88 60ft, i just revved it to around 5-5.5k and dumped the clutch and floored it.
not bad for first time out on slicks, so i tried again and reved off redline and dumped the clutch and got a 2.0 60ft with a 12.9 @ 110.
I should also add that during the burnout my clutch was slipping, lol... and after every run i could smell my clutch. my car is also becoming harder to powershift, harder than i remember atleast... and its also becoming more common to miss gears IE not able to get it into gear under WOT. which is odd because i have a pro 5.0 shifter, prothane motor mounts and che k-member brace with torque limiters.
All this clutch drama started happening awhile back when i was fucking around doing burnouts, I was doing a 1st gear to 2nd gear burnout and wanted to try 3rd gear
which didnt go down so well and immediately started to slip and the pedal went to the floor, pedal came back shortly after but the car would drive very odd (take offs, shifting... etc)
i parked the car for a while and drove my other car for a couple of weeks, came back and the whole clutch issue was gone, except whenever i go to the track it slips.
when i did a second gear burnout on my NT05s at the track it was slipping quite a bit but was still putting down some of the power (enough to make a decent amount of smoke)
under street driving i hardly have any clutch issues except it is getting more difficult to shift fast / powershift under WOT.
what do you guys think? i feel as though if my 60fts were suffering because my clutch wasnt holding on the hard launches, because i could smell it after every run... even when i did 1st gear burnouts

To the op, you will find alot of opinions here about clutches so do yourself a favor and do a search and see what you come up with... it might save you alot of grief and money.
