that is wicked. looks like it pays about 6 hours to do. most of the labor looks as if it's from pulling the engine.

i doubt it. From the looks of it, someone tried to dump the cluch from redline when that happens, the only thing that spins, is the flywheel.
I wonder what burning SiliconCarbide smells like

I remember reading in the Evo review with Rowan Atkinson comparing this car to the Mac F1. It was mentioned that the F1 clutch was good for 3000 miles and the CGT for 10X the miles.
So obviously in this case, someone must have been anxious to let the horsies out of the corral. Or it could be owned by a basketballer or footballer in which case this car must be a rare specimen for having been driven so long without spontaneous combustion
