ok well its been 24hrs since my unfortunat event. result:

MY friction point feels higher, i have to release the clutch more to get moving then i used to before my burning (maybe phsycological)

when ever i take the rpms high or downshift, or even take off quick i am experiencing that heartbraking burning oil smell. will this ever stop ? aHHhHHhHHHhHhH!!!

Normal. You're not the first to experience the stuck-to-the-floor clutch. It's pretty common on '05-'06 Gs when launching hard. Just don't do it again, especially so soon after breakin.

The smell from your car will fade away, but the smell from your body might be around permanently!

I'd take it to the dealer and play dumb. The car is under warranty. Don't tell them you fried your clutch by treating your sports car like a dragster. Just describe the smell, the noises, etc and let them dig into it. They may blame it on the clutch actuator piston or some other issue causing slippage and you could get everything cleaned up for free. Just be real nice and innocent.

I'm not sure if I'm just lucky or what. I've launched hard many times
and have never had this clutch problem??? The only smell I get is tire smell
coming from those 245's.

Maybe you should make a trip to the dealer?

Then again your clutch never stuck halfway...

I read before that this is an issue on the Z's where the clutch stays in 1/2 way under hard acceleration...

there is definately a safety mechanism that over a certain rpm, if u drop it will not let the clutch engage fully. I have experienced it myself. Basically you did something stupid, it smells, but otherwise is fine. Its hard to ruin a new clutch by smoking it once, unless you really held it like that for a long time. I'm thinking u tried it, it acted wierd and u let off.
