991.2 MT Clutch Replacement Cost
So out of sheer idiocy on my part, I completely ruined the clutch on my 991.2 C2 CTS... It slips when the boost comes on.
Has anyone price out the cost from an Indy or Dealer?

on my 991.1 it was around $2500 Parts and labor from my dealer. My guess is it would be 25-30% less from an indy. I can't imagine a 991.1 and 991.2 being that much different in parts and labor.

When I picked my up my Atlanta delivery ‘19 C4S, the Porsche tech running through the car features said that the manuals don’t have launch control.
He also stated the ECU will hold 4K RPM when stopped and you could simulate “launch control “ by dumping the clutch at that point. He also clearly advised not to do it.
I imagine that the a PDK with its wet clutches allows slippage and protects the drivetrain components when launched.
I may be wrong but I suspect something like dumping the clutch may be in play.
Hard lesson to learn.

Even with weight over the rear tires for traction, I would expect that it should be able to be launched and not destroy the clutch.
I know every car is different, but my Subaru STi (AWD) with the stock clutch held up to the abuse of many launches, and with an upgraded clutch after a larger turbo install showed no signs of wear/weakness/slipping etc.

Porsche clutch and flywheel is much smaller than that on American cars. Not designed for super aggressive launches, more for track use.
for aggressive launches, get PDK

But something has to slip a bit somewhere. If the rear tire friction is equal to or greater than the clutch friction, then the clutch will give.

Can you give a bit more info, temps/tires/surface/traction on/off?
I've launched my 911 (tuned) a few times without any issues, did you maybe not let go of the clutch fully and smoked the clutch? Or was the car launched and seem to bog down and then then take off? Also is your car tuned?
