Well here is the bizarreness of my clutch, One day on my way into work I gunned in 1st from a stop making a right turn. At first it didnt slip then half way through the rpm range it started slipping like mad to redline. There was a nice burnt clutch smell and was thinking crap the clutch is toast. That was 5000 miles ago, since that day it has not slipped again. My car now has 11,000 miles on it and about 40 or so launches at 4,000 - 5,000 rpm from autocross. So far I am believer like you are it is driving style and habits more then anything. I wonder does this car have a clutch delay valve similar to the BMW's? I could never get my old bimmer to shift smooth and this car acts lil like that.
