    Do you guys break in the clutches before doing wot pulls? Ive notice in most videos it seems you guys put them on & right to dyno they go. I thought most clutches required some type of xxx amount of miles of break in period & no wot pulls during that time?

    Very nice indeed. I know the Z06s came with a fixed roof for structural stability. It looks like there was a roll bar running left to right. Is that were the bracing is added for these cars as opposed to running front to back? If so pity Chevrolet never engineered a removable top
