Uber, Yessir, good choice! The car will be going back together with every saftey piece imagineable.
DW, Just from a stab on the throttle, no clutch drop, just pure torque. We are assuming the pressure plate had small hairline cracks or something, because it is what grenaded and seems to have caused the destruction, the disc is still mostly intact. It was a first gear incident, right about 5000 RPM, and she spit chunks.

I was at an AX event last year and a guy showed up with Saleen Cobra #03-0004. It was a show car with 100% OEM everything, say a new CAI, I think. Original tires with the little beads still on them with less than 3K on the ODO. The car was trailored to/from shows and the passenger seat had been sat in exactly 1 time, by the previous owners wife. She was scared to be in it and he almost never drove it. Was as clean as you could possibly imagine and picked it up for (scroll to the bottom.... if you dare!)
