My clutch was slipping too, and it felt slower everytime I drove the car. Well, that is...until I spun all the rod bearings.

black del sol, sorry, but your friend is a complete idiot for trying to drive a car like that.

What I say, notphiltran, is to drive a very very slow car. I for instance, would drive my parents minivans, and then have to go to my car. You'll appreciate it more when you realize how slow everything else is compared to your car.

i think his car is accualy slower. since he said his ca was slower aginst the z06. i still say its your clutch if it was the clutch and it was slipping. you would still probebly dyno the same because pulling a car on a dyno is nothing like pulling its accual weight

There's always ways to check that. Dynoing it again, or take it the track and compare it to an old time slip.

well i know its not my clutch... but anyways.. its all psychological to me.

but my car feels fast again, a kid in my girlfriends school has a 2004 corvette c5 automatic. he thought he was king ----. she talked some ----, i ended up racing him a few times last night. put a few cars on him both times. all is well in the kingdom again!

whoot for mad 3rd gear vtec vs corvette

I've had the same deal with my CRX and my friends. It was quick, but by no means was it fast.
