Clutch slipping?
Changing gears from 4th to 5th ( did put my foot down )while getting in the freeway and at 60mph I noticed that my speed stayed at 60 but my RPM just kept climbing…
Is this the beginning of my clutch going out?

Clutch slipping
Bought the car in January and it now has 115k miles on it- got it from a used car dealer so no idea as to when and if the clutch was last worked on….
seems to shift fine through all the gears if driven slowly, but as soon as I accelerated hard from 4th to 5 th gear - the speed stayed at 60 and the rpm just kept climbing til I backed off the throttle.

Put it in 5th around 3k and floor it. If it slips then the clutch is slipping. Clutch can be done on jack stands in about 4 hours. Get a lot of extensions. This is the clutch I went with on my Z with ~ 300whp 335wtq https://www.ebay.com/itm/13265692549...QAAOSwy2Ncw5F-
Didn't break it in and I have been beating the hell out of it.

The number on the "stage 1" clutch disk is just an oem replacement disk. The pressure plate number didn't seem to get me any info online
I also skipped the top driver's side bolt on the tranny because it's a PITA to get to
