Lol... Powershifting has nothing to do with the clutch... It means to keep full throttle while shifting... And trust me, you get from A to B shorter when you do it properly. You won't see me posting anything when my trans breaks.. I'll simply fix it or replace it.

You don't need to worry about what I do in my Z.

I have more than the means to replace the parts of my Z when they break... I have worked in the auto performance industry for over 10 years..

I know what breaks cars and what it takes to keep them going under extreme conditions. I was just hoping someone who is serious about achieving the highest performance rather then reliability might have already ran into this since I only picked up a 370 a few months ago. If not, I will handle it and post my findings for anyone else not afraid to break their car.

My last concern is treating my car with care to keep it from breaking...

Everytime I drive my 370 I'll put it thru more abuse than most of you will in your cars lifetime. Don't worry about my car... I have the means to fix what breaks
Abuse your car all you want - it's your car. Just don't expect to find many kindred spirits here.

When your Z is sufficiently abused what car will you move on to abuse next? Will your first posts on that forum begin the same way? GL

You don't need to worry about what I do in my Z... If you can't answer my question you can simply ignore this thread.

I have more than the means to replace the parts of my Z when they break... I have worked in the auto performance industry for over 10 years and build everything from 500hp hondas to 1700hp vipers and maintained race cars that cost over a mill....
And that's where I stopped reading.
