Default How many full bore starts...

Before clutch goes

Anyone have any idea in general?

example (Ferarri Enzo = 3 full bore starts "Top Gear")

Nissan 350 Z = ?

So there is minimal useless rabbel.

1) RPM = 3000-3500
2) Clutch is slipped a little
3) Level Ground
4) On a regular street
5) On stock tires
6) Stock clutch and stock everything else as well
7) One Full Bore start per month (ex not doing it back to back)

You could perform the scientific experiment for us, and then we'd all know.

I know that SVT tested the 03 Cobra with 1500+ starts like that and still didn't kill the clutch.. (or the rest of the drive train)

36, on the 37th full bore launch your ecm will engage a limp mode preventing you any more until the clutch counter has been reset via replacing the clutch disc.

You'll feel when the clutch starts to get soft. When first gear becomes a problem from dropping the clutch, that's when your clutch has gone.

Don't worry though, you have a while. Everyone ***'s around.

x2. If you can do it 100 times in one day, it will be even better and a great test of the engineers' competency.
