My 2010 370Z Coupe M6 only has about 4k miles on it, just broken in. This was the first time I seriously got on it, and don't really know what made the clutch slip and the engine to race. I don't have syncro-rev. I have seen threads on other forums describing the same problem. Am I being a beginner, or is the factory clutch not handling the torque from the engine, or what? Suggestions?
