Thats called abuse.

Honestly I don't care if you do burn outs and drag race whatever, but when you do that stuff and burn out the stock clutch it's not cause the clutch is crap it's because it's not intended for that purpose....

I think that if wheel hop wasn't a huge issue the clutch would be much longer life because you can mitigate wheel hop with slipping the clutch.

So how many other cars so you know of that do the same thing? Camaros Mustangs and other highperformance cars can smoke their tires up to third gear, so our clutch is weak, maybe not all of them, but a lot of them are there's no denying that.

Yeah yeah yeah, bla bla bla, you sound like a spokesman for the company that made the clutches.

Abuse yes but what is the point of buying stage upgrades, cold air intakes, exhaust, ect... If you can't launch it hard once or 200 times and smoke the sh*t out of the compition LOL. I am hoping the recall is on the way but I am not holding my breath either.

Side note: I got the best time on the track by feathering into the trottle after shifting to avoid clutch or tire slip. Try it it works. Not to metion it is really expensive to replace 18" tire. LOL!

Alright. If I'm getting this right, if you order the stage 1 kit, the only thing that arrives at your door are fuel injectors? So you have to go to the dealership where they will have the reflash?

Another question, does the dealership already have this reflash at all times or is the reflash that comes in your kit seperately sent to your closest dealership where you live?

I REALLY hope i eat crow on this but i'm calling APRIL FOOLS BS on the 7K redline!


Please understand that you can make a stock one hit 7K if you hiy it off the rev limiter hard enough. I've had mine to 7k a few times according to logged data.
