Did a nice 2nd gear rolling burnout. Drove for about 2 miles till i got to the lights in town and this is where things happened. While in gear, i pushed clutch in (which pedal felt same as always), and the car stalled as i came to a stop. Wtf? Restarted car and it kept lurking forward. Took it out of gear and it started and wouldn't go into gear with clutch depressed. Had to slam in into first. Drove in first for about a mile or two and tried 2nd w/ clutch, no dice. From there til i got home i had to shift with no clutch. With the 315 hoosiers and it being hot out i think i fused the clutch disk to the flywheel. It wasn't slipping at all and no clutch smell. Clutch had about 5-7k miles on it.
I thought this clutch was suppose to hold some power! 505rwhp and 520tq isn't much at all.

Well, here is what happened. Seems the disk welded itself to the flywheel. Had to pry it off.
