Blew the clutch on the 4th run - WTF??? You aren't the first company to blow the clutch relatively quick either. Seems like the clutch is way too weak.

They probably enjoy driving too much to get an old fashioned auto with no bells or whistles with it (ie: paddle shifter, column shifter, sport mode button, rev matching downshifts, etc.)

Cant believe nobody has asked yet:

Options on the car? (ie base, premium, etc etc.)
Axle ratio?
Octane gas used?
Any weight reduction?
Which track and what was the DA during that run?

To get a 114 mph trap on just a 12.3 ET means your car is running exceptionally well (probably fastest stock motor, no power increasing mods, 11 GT to date).
It's almost hard to believe getting a 114 mph trap on 12.3 ET with the 60' time you got and there being no power mods. Kind of thinking you must have weight reduction mods or that's just a really fast track (great DA's, runs a bit downhill, and bit of tailwind) like ATCO or Cecil.

Good job none the less and bummer on the clutch. What rpms were you launching at?

Glad you asked.

This is the premium model minus the brake upgrade, HID's and navigation.
4.56 Gears
87 Octane (b/c that's what it had in it still from the dealer)
Only weight reduction was replacing the suspension items with aftermarket and they are lighter.
Track : Palm Beach International Raceway 90*+ for the outside temp w/ 85% humidity.
