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!!!

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.

Maybe you should make a trip to the dealer?

Then again your clutch never stuck halfway...

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.
