Given all the years of racing the shit out of it, my '99 Z/28 was very reliable. '99 Z/28- Stock Torque Arm - took out the Driveshaft when it went (thanks to Pewter for hooking up the cheap DS back then)- Original Slave/Throwout Bearing - replaced/upgraded the clutch, flywheel, master and slave/throwout while I was at it.- Bent a few Pushrods, actually broke one - Let a buddy drive, and he did the 2-3-2. '02 Z06- Diff - wheel hopped it too much drag-racing on the 19s. Started gear-whinnng bad on the way home. Drove it like that for another 3-4 months, never actually failed. It was just louder than shit.- I think the clutch is about done. -TJ ---
