Clutch

Fine. I'll figure out what the real problem is an post it. The clutch was a little glazed, but not shot by any means. Like I said, I'm not new to driving fast cars.

I can tell the clutch was burning or smoking because it smells like an electrical fire, same as brakes. Comes from experience. The clutch was glazed I know, because it was rough to shift afterward. Lurched when you shifted expecially in first. This will go away after 50-100 miles by dropping the clutch a little more firmly than normal. Anyway, the clutch is fine today, not slipping. But I haven't tried to drag race today. More info than you asked for, but ther you go.

Where you power shifting when it happened?

The clutch isn't the strongest, in part because of the CSC and in part because of the clutch itself. If shifting with high RPM's you need to shift hard and fast to make sure the clutch is engaged when the power comes back on.
