SPEC Clutch Ad
Did any of my C5 Forced Induction brothers see the new SPEC clutch ad in the latest Vette Magazine?? Roughly the 3rd from the last page..
Not that many of you care.. It was just a proud moment for me..

Have you seen their new billet twin disc?? Its a freaking work of art.
The pedal feel is stock, the pedal height is perfect, and it grabs great. Although i'm still breaking it in right now, so I cant REALLY give it a workout. I sent the ENTIRE assembly to the balancer before installing it, and it was LESS than 1 tenth of a gram off.
So far, I'm very happy.

I was very happy too,...until the pressure plate came flying thru my car.
My buddy, was happy as well with his stage 5 setup,..until the pressure plate came flying thru his car.
A local C6 Z06 owner was happy too, until the clutch assembly came out of his car.
All three ruined. Totaled. All three had no problems, until ultimate failure. No warnings.
Congrats on your car in the ad,..very cool. Just wish it was from a better company.

But see, thats the problem..
You can pull just as many complaints about the Cartek clutch coming apart. If you do a search, there more than a few threads talking about carteks going through the windshield.
I had a Cartek clutch (and LOVED it)
ALL clutches have their problems if you dig deep enough.

Cartek is not my concern, as I have no personal experience with products from them.
SPEC, however, I have experienced first hand, over, and over again.
Very sad to see three cars totaled from a poor quality product. If it wasn't for the framerails that run down the center of our Y-bodies, we'd have more then likely, lost or severed limbs.
Quite an experience when your doing about 100mph at WOT and you feel like you just ran over a land mine. Cause thats exactly what it's like. The explosion of your hood blowing open, your wiper arms flying 20 feet in the air, the immediate shattering of your windsheild,...followed by the errie quietness of the wind blowing thru the car,...and your lack of hydraulics, brakeing included. One time, was liveable. Hey, maybe I got a bad product,..whatever. Three times, ALL LOCAL, c'mon dude.
I now run a RAM VDS, which I gotta say, is holding up very nice to my 600 rear wheel,...and seemingly nice in my cousins 800+rwhp Z06...
I have also hear good things about textralia.

Yup.
I have always flatshifted/powershifted vehicles my whole life. I gotta tell you now, at the top of every gear, your mind wanders....
Sorry for the jack. Just people outta know. Especially people that we all know and care about.
These cars, at the time, where making between 420rwhp, and 500rwhp. Stage III, stage III+ and stage 5.
peace out.

the reasons i went a different route when i purchased mine. seen pics of the carnage on a few different c5's. even seen a car that was totaled(clutch exploded), repaired and sold on autotrader. very scary so far i have not heard of any of this happening with my current choice of clutch.
