Clutch? Hehe - by that stage the clutch is fully released...

That's rubber smoke there bud... -- look at the ever so faint layer of rubber being painted on the street - just enough tyre slip to get moving and hold it at 6500rpm... but not too much so as to waste time spinning the wheels..

<--- Wants a Z06. Feeling charitable RC? I'll take her off your hands for free. Saves you all kinds of trouble! No more tickets, no more insurance payments! It's a win win situation!

Yep - it's kinda hard to believe one can have so much fun going to and from work..

And lets not forget the old plastic whale turned 53,000 miles old in style...

God that is fast.. Nice work RC. We don't really have corvette's here unless they are imported (damn it!), is the Z06 a race version of a normal corvette? Surely they don't all do 4.0 haha :shock:

6500rpm nice, you're tyres must be fucking expensive to hold the road at that rev with that much power,
bit i guess most of you're tyre is now stuck to the road of various intersections around america, lol!

dumping it at that rev i would of expected it to keep spinning and maybee grip after laying half you're tyre on the road, lol
