Just sent... don't want to offend anyone.

11.5 @ 122 1.6 60'. But I'm having the infamous TR6060 second gear grind issue. To the dealer it goes! Basically if I try to shift from first to second with any type of speed or over 5000 rpm, it just grinds and kicks it out :(

I hear nothing but good things about the RXT and RST. When I nuke mine, thats what its getting replaced with.

Great stuff everyone.

I hear you on the GM clutches. I'm not sure if it has to do with them being hydraulic or not. Aside from the slipping, the fluid gets heated up causing the pedal to stick and/or not properly release/compress the pressure plate. Good for driving like a granny on the street, but not so much for the track. Mechanical linkage ftw.

I separated my brake and clutch fluid and swapped out to high temp fluid. No issues with anything.

I just ordered the lingenfelter clutch return spring today to see if that band aid holds. I'm not going to do seperate res. and other crap I looked into after it happened. It just doesn't make sense to me to go extreme to fix some of these shortcomings on a car that I will race a handful of times a year. Wanted 11's and I would have had them with any kind of 60', but it just doesn't seem to be in the cards. Thinking seriously about just buying another car to be the track bitch and not spending a fortune to make sure the camaro doesn't break: Clutch, half shafts, output shaft, diff, or toss the rear suspension on the ground in a hail of rubber bushing shards. I'll just put a metric ton of speakers, lights, and 3m add-ons and take it to car shows like the other 90% of C5 owners

Thats half the fun. Gotta love the extreme pucker factor everytime you make a pass on your DD.
