I would say that you didn't do any harm to your car motor or your clutch, but if you continue to do that start saving up for a new clutch etc. I know were LaCanada is, I have riden the Crest many times on my sport bikes.

Some of the best corners in southern California. You would have fun up there in your Z after it is broken in.

Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for the help! I dont plan on doing any more of that till it breaks in. I plan on driving it more properly. I definitely will hit the crest after a few thousand miles.

welcome...........it's your car i guess you paid for it drive it anyway you won't to
check back with us after you turn off the vdc for the first time.............

what is "dumping the clutch" means and how serious is it?

It means drop-clutch. Which is not suggested for stick-shift.

By droping the clutch you mean just revving it and letting the clutch go completely? :bowrofl:

Seems to me like that would tear up a lot more then just the clutch that puts some extreme stresses on all the parts in teh drive train

mhcoss, you are actually correct, and I Fixed it for you. :icon17:

Haha. Yea, I meant that smiley as hitting my head on the floor!

not stirring it up :stirthepot: but that's why they make Autos.....

it's just good clean fun.......

Ohhh yeah you have. Come on you can tell us. Bottom line its your car and your the one paying for it. :tup:

I wouldn't worry about it, man.

Question from someone who hasnt tracked the car, but if your doing a quarter mile, dont you drop the clutch to get going?? Like at 4,500 rpm? or if you wanted to drag or do a 0 - 60 time...? I wouldnt think dropping the clutch even a bunch of times would do anything... Grinding the clutch may be a different story...
