need new clutch
Hello all! I have a 2007 convertible base model corvette with a 6.0L and 6 speed tranny, The clutch is slipping and I am wondering if I should put a upgraded clutch in or just go with the OEM clutch from Chevy? I drive it occasionally and like to have some fun but nothing to crazy!! Thanks in advance.

Is this a 'high mile' car?
If it is, OEM got you there.
IMO unless there's a genuine need due to HCI etc, upgrading clutch really isn't needed.
YMMV
Now, if we were talking about a harmonic balancer...

Thanks Landru,
It only has 80000 kilometres on it so I wouldnt consider it a high mileage car. I have only put about 5000k on it so I don’t know how it was driven previously. However this gives me a pretty good idea!! Lol

Nonetheless even at 50K miles, car's an '07, 11 years old too.
IF clutch needs to be replaced OEM is just fine, IMO.
Probably around $2K USD, beaucoup labor.
Now's the time to find a qualified shop for this, a dealer will surely skin ya alive.
