Default Got a steal from Amazon

I ordered this clutch for my own conversion as I wanted to make sure it was the real deal and it definitely is.

DF161056 Centerforce Dual Friction


Summit has it at $419.95 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ctf-df161056

Just got this through Amazon for $233.36

It has got to be a mistake so act fast if you want one.

I had the same one and it lived for four years of a whole lot of hard launches and burnouts.

(Caveat, I never side stepped the clutch pedal or dropped on it from a dead stop).

Ahh, crap. Sorry that I didn't let you all know in time. It was still the same price that I got it at the time of posting.

Well considering it is already in my hands I am not too worried about it =)

I got a Milodon street /strip pan that way for $86 bucks once. They retail for $280. I didnt look mounted or used but I think they must be returns and they cant sell them full price or something. I dont care either way as long as we can get a deal once in a while
