Okay, let me first explain. I have been driving stick for years now and I know that makes it even worse but I have no idea what this term means. I am pretty sure I do it or have done it before but I do not know what it is called. I just get in the car and drive. Can someone please explain this term because I was reading a review for the Carrera GT and they were saying that you can not slip the clutch or you will burn it out since it is ceramic. PLEASE HELP!!!!
COPY OF THE PART FROM THE ARTICLE:
Harley Haywood, pro racer and Porsche dealer, likes to preflight first-time Carrera GT drivers with a cautionary tale about the clutch. Recently he drove a new GT cross-country to a customer, described how to engage the clutch and watched as the new owner promptly did it all wrong.
"You just burned up $8,000," Hurley commented conversationally.
Here's the technique: Do not slip it. Let's make that clear: Never slip the GT's ceramic clutch!
"Rather," says Mr. Haywood, "the release of the clutch and the pressing of the throttle have to be done in unison, and there's no slippage. It either grabs or it doesn't. In or out. That's a little alien to most people, but once you've mastered it, it's easy."
At $8 grand a lesson, mastery better come quickly.
