are donuts bad for the car?
Now please don't call me an idiot. cause for the most part i think i'm pretty on top of things.
I got my Z about 2 months ago. Have babied the crap out of it since day one.
I decide tonight, being that this is my first RWD car i'm going to enjoy it a little.
I go to my business which has about a 100,000 square foot parking lot and decide to spin around in my car.
I start off in first as i would normally do, turn the wheel, and hammer it. Did some fantastic donuts and created what appeared to be a reverse tornado of smoke
Problem is........on the way back home.......my clutch pedal now has a vibration in it that wasn't there originally during engagement.
I know i'm probably about the 1 billionth person to do a massive donut in my corvette, but i'm also paranoid.
Did i mess anythign up?
Thanks in advance

There was more than enough room to let me start the car off normal and cut the wheel and hit the gas.
My foot never touched the clutch until the car came to a complete stop. But i swear, there is a vibration in the clutch that wasn't there before.
Car still ran good on the way home

See how the clutch is after a nice night to cool back down.....Make sure the fluid is clear too and not black.
