Just saying hello again after a long absence

[BrianG]

Since all a clutch does is absorb the difference in wheel vs engine speed, just time everything so the syncros are lined up and it won't be so bad on the clutch. It's those starts where you rev to ~3k and then dumping the clutch, or riding it so the launch isn't so abrupt that's bad for them.

500HP eh? I bet you pass anything on the road... except the gas station!
