What is the deal Z1 is having?

Im debating between

1. ACT 6 puck

2. Comp clutch Stage 4

3. Comp Clutch Stage 5

4. Spec Stage 5

5. CM Stage 7

6. Tilton

i have the comp clutch stage 4. I just pulled it down and the friction plate welded itself to the pressure plate and flywheel. I don't slip the clutch. I put 500 miles on it to break it it. 1 4500rpm launch at the track and it was done....welded together. Pieces of the pucks were missing too. Hopefully when i talk to comp clutch tomorrow we can work something out for a replacement because i didn't even come close to abusing this clutch. I've only had it for about a month of street use.

what's the stage 5?

what's the CM stage 7? what would the cost on that beautiful thing be?

Which OS clutch do you have Nexx? I have a Triple on the way. I can't wait to see how it compares to my old ATS Triple.

ah cool.

ya, i'm not sure what happened to mine. drove it for over 500 miles street before track use. 3 runs and gone. I never slip the clutch either. from the floor all the way out on launch. I have to send it back and have them "inspect it" even though they said by the pics they have never seen one do that. I guess my car will now sit for weeks on jack stands while they decide what to do. Clutch was only a month old too. I'm going to say by the time i get one back and get it together it will be winter here which sucks. ruined my season.

Update - put about 500 miles on this setup and its literally about twice as easy to drive. 1rst gear is almost a breeze now (except for huge hollywood hills) and overall more comfortable in traffic. and so far - handles the trq just fine.
