Is there anyone using a lightweight flywheel / 4 puck clutch disk for autocrossing? My new track car has one and I'm not so sure my wife is going to like it. I had heard they are like an on off switch and I have to agree after driving the car. Getting the car onto the trailer was an experience.
I'm worried about longevity as it takes quite a bit of slipping to get a smooth launch. In my last car I used a Centerforce setup which was easy to use. Thanks, Bill P. |

My vintage 2L car has a kevlar clutch and it is on/off and usually if someone new drives the car they stall it several times before they get going. My flywheel is lightened some but not one of those mega-bucks jobs. For a race car they are fine but not for street use at all. I'd say go somewhere and let your wife practice before going to an event and that will eliminate the embarrassment she might feel.
