Default Clutch Sticking To Floor

A friend of mine has a 04 gto and when he runs the car hard the clutch sticks to the floor! What could be the problem and how would he fix this?

Most times its dead clutch fluid, it needs to be flushed regularly. Use DOT4 Synthetic. Also if not address the cluth will wear out quicker.

Check out this sticky. It has a lot of good info as the problem could be anything from fluid to a shot clutch to a clutch that just can't handle the power:
