Holy crap!?! Its not a drag car??? I was totally unaware of that! Thanks for your input... NOT

Thanks for the advice Moderator. I deffinatley do need to practice more and change the clutch while i'm at it. Whoever had it before me must have road the crap out of it cause thats what it feels like. Still tryin to get use to the real wheel drive. It's a first for me, i'm use to civics and integras. Its deffinatley a change!

if your clutch is slipping, it's either glazed over, or you aren't dumping the clutch fast enough. when/if you replace the clutch, be sure to dump it and dont ever feather it when launching.

my S2000 had well over 1000 clutch dumps on the original clutch and I never had a problem.

Good point, sorry I tried to have an opinion and state some printed facts. I apologize for trying to add either of them, I was wrong for thinking that was allowed in the country.

I think the accepted best way to drag a stock s2k is to rev it to 7k and DROP, not feather the clutch...just whatever u do don't drop the clutch from lower than 6k, because if you don't break the tires free it puts immense stress on the drivetrain.
