Pros:
-very streetable
-no sign of glazing even after all those aggressive launches
-bites pretty well
-got mine for around $290 shipped, I think, a while back

Cons:
-very stiff; will give your left leg/calf a good workout
good deal. glad somebody is running this clutch bc i was eye'ing this one as well as ACT.

All of the runs, including the nitrous runs (75 and 100 shot) were on slicks and ET streets, too. Stock clutch would have glazed over and I would have burned it.

Sup guys...

So everyone here knows how much I hate mustangs... and if you have been to the track with me you know that my fun and entertaining trash talk is not contained to the internet... So I started working at Autozone a week ago... Keep in mind Denton is still a good ole boy kinda town, and here they happen to select Ford as their motor company of choice. I could not resist and started joking with a guy about it (maybe joking at him really...) and now apparently I have about 30 mustang owners wanting to take me out to the track... these guys are coming into the store just for the purpose of meeting me...

So basically they want a bit of this and that makes me like and I can't wait to them and give them a big ole

I will let yal know when the beat down shall commence.

I am running the ACT 6-puck... not really what your looking for I don't think though (didn't read all the previous posts)

The 6-puck is rated to 590 lbs of torque great racing clutch, not the best street clutch though... kinda wishing i had spend the extra 6 hundred bucks for a carbon twin disk

Denton has an 1/8th mile track, only a couple of these guys have run the 1/4 so probably, the more respectable guys outta the bunch and from work want to go down to Ennis asap though.

Stephen, I just posted a for sale thread which included my wheels with the BFG KDW2's. You should pick those up so that you won't have any traction issues.

Stephen, don't underestimate the Mustang guys. GT, hell even Mach1/Bullitt, and under are about as fast as a stock 350Z. Cobras and GT500s can easily take you out without even trying. Underestimating your opponent is the worst thing you can do. With that said, they're usually loud as hell, but they never go anywhere.

I am up for a track day, I don't care if it is Ennis or Denton. I like Denton since there aren't too many people there.

+1. a stock looking GT that doesnt sound stock could be dangerous.

so... what if your car is a sleeper... but you enjoy the fun and casual trash talk?

I am fully aware that there are more than enough mustangs out there that can take me down, I just enjoy pushing their buttons (please do keep in mind I was a die hard chevy guy before I made the switch to imports)

They all know it is in good fun, I just can't wait to see how this goes
