Stock Clutch slip

tjlazer · 04-26-2010, 07:50 PM

How easy does the stock clutch slip on the 370Z when doing a launch? I did one so far and it seems like it slipped some as I lost power for several seconds from 2-3 or so. Or maybe I just need to learn how to launch and shift better? LOL

You lost power because the rpms dropped and so you had to wait for the VTEC to kick in again.

Just kidding. Power loss on shifts is from the VDC kicking to prevent wheelspin, or chirp.
