Clutch Stress
This question is for all the high HP/TQ Vettes. During daily driving and road racing, what is harder on the clutch, maintaining high speeds, handling the TQ under acceleration, or slamming the shifter/popping the clutch? Got into a discussion with a CTS-V owner who says that the gear changes was less stress than hard acceleration with high TQ motors. Thanks in advance for any comments.
