1.59 said about all need be said, i think i detected a snotbubble immediately after If you need new sneakers at 6k (on a car) you been beating the sh** out of it and you should be able to smell the diff between rubber and your clutch
Definitely the clutch. All kind of smoke coming from under the car well in front of the rear axle. My question is, why did they have water under the rear tires. This car needs no help spinning the tires, including no need for brake torqueing, which is what appears to have caused the clutch to burn up.
There is a switch in a Vette that turns off the traction control. If you do not turn off the traction control it will not let the tires spin, it works through the ABS system and the ECM. Being a Z06 it is likely the ECM was modified or re-tuned to by-pass this little gem, allowing full power.
I tried a burn out on a drag strip with my last Vette, I forgot about turning the traction control off. It just bogged and wouldn't move and it curbed the power so that it wouldn't self destruct.

$600 won't buy the basic parts wholesale. That's going to run him $3k minimum.
In case it ever comes up, as pointed out the manual trans cars have the clutch up front, but the automatic cars have the torque converter in the rear. The shaft in the torque tube is hard bolted to the flexplate.
Either way it's a small PITA to get the transaxle out for either one.
There is no way his clutch, even if new is going to overpower the brakes on a Z06.
He needs a line lock, bias valve or just some wheel chocks if things he's going to do a standing burnout with a corvette. They are built to go and stop. Not sit still and make smoke...at least not from the tires! haha too funny, and too sad.
