Default You know my cars fixed, but now my RS4 clutch won't hold the power.....

I was lined up against a R6 from a stop, i knew i would probably lose but i was hoping he would get a bad launch. 3 honks and I launched the car in pulling away from the bike(he started late). Hit second gear and clutch pedal stayed on the floor and RPM's shot up. So i let out of it and the clutch pedal came back up. The car is still driveable, i guess it didn't like the 1/2 shift and actually having power there right away for once.......lol

Since my clutch couldn't handle the launch we did a 20mph punch and by about 140 he had me by what looked to me 2-3 car lengths. I'm extremely impressed with the car the way it is. I've been told a R6 is capable of high 10's around 120mph. There is video and i will try to get it up on here.

Hopefully it only slipped because of i had been giving peopel rides and my car barely got a cool down. I'm sure if i go out there today after a nights cool down; i will be fine. But it is probably still time to be looking at a new clutch or at least putting the hyrbid disc in.
