97' z28 m6 3.42 gears. 275/40/17;s on rear

Today i was driving around and by that i mean ripping up some tires and burning some premium. (On backroads with no one around.. no worries ).

For the record it had just rained and the roads were wet.

Noticed a few things. If i lite em up doing a brakestand, it almost feels like the car is bucking. Feels like the one wheel is kicking on and off. Both are still spinning, but it feels like its kicking.

I noticed when trying to get some donuts going, unless i hammer on it when im going straight, it will one wheel wonder in a circle. From a stand still it will spin both, if i mash er going through a corner, only one goes. Sometimes both will go.

Dry pavement is a bit different. Going straight from a stand still, both will go and it feels strong through the entire burnout. Spinning both kicking the car side to side and i sway marking my territory on the road. Same thing happens as previous mention above in the corners though.

Checked the fluid, its still high and looks fairly clean. Car only has 70k miles on it. Not sure if this is normal or if its abnormal.

Opinions welcome, thanks

Yea, your clutches are gone. If it's bucking bad, your Spider Gears are about to pop. Mine was bucking on one side during my burn out on the Track when I let out of it and it bit and rolled to the line, and then on the launch I shattered it.

Start saving for a 9".
