36,500 miles. drive harder on my own car than anyone here on this evom board period. hands down. my stock clutch is still good. People on this board have clutch and tc problems because those people caused them. my mecanic showed me the inside of a tc. it was not designed as a drag car. the clutch was not designed for drag strip racing either.

as for bashing gm. Its build with some mitsu parts. so I suggest to buy a new mitsu. invest 10k and pocket 20k+luxury tax+gas tax+wasted sales tax. thats all.

For something as complicated as an automobile, every manufactured vehicle will not be perfect - no matter what the cost. Hence, the concept of warranty was born.

So in all honisty when you pay 250,000 for a house you should be guarinteed it to NEVER fall apart, based only because it cost a lot of money? Ither way im sure that chevy is taking care of their vette owners.

ahh you guys kill me... I don't care how much or how little a vehicle's cost is... ALL parts in ANY vehicle will break eventually, some sooner than others and some more frequent than others its a fact.

And for you guys that care so much about what other people think about the quality or the respect that have for than you have bought the wrong car.

You want to impress people and flash your cash, buy a Benz (p.s. they break too!, but lets not start a thread about that too )

finally someone with some brains around here

it's funny how an isolated incident like that, and the kids on this board make it seem like every c6 on the road is having the same problems.....the c5 was one of the most reliable cars you can get after they kinked out the oil consumption and CLB problems in '01....c6 will be no different, if not, more reliable

Your kidding right? According to you noone can say anything bad about Mitsu because this is an EVO forum. I will tell you this, I would never own any mitsu besides the Evo. They are an inferior auto manufacturer. Dont get me wrong, I love my Evo.
