that is wicked. looks like it pays about 6 hours to do. most of the labor looks as if it's from pulling the engine.

1300 miles? -- weak clutch or clumsy driver??

i doubt it. From the looks of it, someone tried to dump the cluch from redline when that happens, the only thing that spins, is the flywheel.

I wonder what burning SiliconCarbide smells like

yeah, it should last forever, but with big abuse less so.

What ??? A $4000000,00000000000000.0000000000000000.00 car and it can't survive a single redline launch?

i was thinking, ceramic clutch is better then normal, and can survive 200 000 km,

I remember reading in the Evo review with Rowan Atkinson comparing this car to the Mac F1. It was mentioned that the F1 clutch was good for 3000 miles and the CGT for 10X the miles.

So obviously in this case, someone must have been anxious to let the horsies out of the corral. Or it could be owned by a basketballer or footballer in which case this car must be a rare specimen for having been driven so long without spontaneous combustion

i wonder how many bolts they must have laying around....
