I'm almost certain the burnt clutch smell was from the Dodge Challenger I was racing. <_< I really noticed it when he got the jump on me on the next street over. Anyways I'm probably being paranoid I know people abuse these cars but I don't want to damage it, and take away life because I messed up a shift on accident. It does have Snych rev, as well. As soon as it went into gear and it chirped my tires, I pressed the clutch in immediately, and put it into the correct gear.

Also, before that happened the Challenger couldn't catch me, but then I ****** up and really slowed down, but he got out on me on the second street and I was super worried I damaged something so I just backed off. XD Thanks for all of the advice guys. I really appreciate it.

Since you decided to be a di*khead and race another di*khead on a public road - who gives a **** about your car.

Would sooner have you admit and apologise to the entire forum community for being a di*khead and endangering lives.

Thanks Di*khead for making 370z owners look bad.
Your mother should have swallowed.

I can understand the feeling, but it could've been toned down a little

Isn't street racing illegal?

This happened to me twice, but nothing else occurred.

Bent valves, head damage, jumped a gear on timing....not good.

tranny is probably okay, but if u hear clicking from ur engine then...
