Default Clutch question

I did a 4k drop burnout and I did it for about 5-6 Mississippi after I was done I noticed my clutch was stuck to the floor, and it smelt like BURNT clutch really bad...After a little my clutch goes back up but I notice that it engages much lower than before I take it home and notice it still smelled like burnt clutch. So the next day I drove around for a bit and it smells like burnt clutch. The clutch isnt slippin since I still get a second gear scratch and it doesnt slip when I put it in 5th and floor it.... Anybody know why it smells like burnt clutch even now?

Got it real hot , & did some disc cooking. Is it a stock clutch still?
The stock pressure plates are weak, can cause what you describe.

Start saving for a new clutch and flywheel. Congrats, I toasted a Z06 and stock clutch the same way on Nittos. Now on my 4th clutch.

You filled the bellhousing w/clutch dust/debris likely.

I did the same thing to my spec stage 1, but then i found out it was because the idiot mechanic didnt put the included shim in with it. I replaced it with a spec Stage 3 and couldnt be happier!!!! Definately get a mcleod upgraded slave cylinder too, thatll solve the clutch pedal sticking to floor.
