The vette pilot is in fact a good one.

His clutch giving out when it did, did him no favor, tho.

Why run with a bad clutch? Did a great disservice to a great car imo...

let's see good driver would know how to manage the clutch and prevent the failure issue with the ls7 clutch.
Ranger has preached the proper techniques and an experienced driver would know that!

I definitely think it was his clutch because he raped that viper until half track. He either missed a shift or his clutch went south.

It's a race between one member of each rival car group involving the forum they go to vette/viper stang/camaro evo/sti etc etc. Anyways im still relatively new to CF but the driver for the vette I believe is "SW".

I personally believe SW about the clutch problem....he holeshotted the hell out of the viper and ended up only trapping 114 mph with a car that should trap over 130. The numbers don't add up to anything but a mechanical problem.

Stock clutch is marginal at stock h/p levels. With the few added ponies and some sticky tires. I'm sure the owner knew he was on borrowed time..............

SW is a well known & experienced driver who had a mechanical failure. Do you think thay stood at the entrance to the track & waved down the first Z06 to pass by for the competition?
