Drag racing can be very hard on clutches if you allow your clutch to slip as you apply tons of power. I'm looking to get a carbon/carbon clutch for the STi when I start the power upgrades. That should take anything I can throw at it!

I actually used to drag race my Ford Lightning. It had a very heavy duty automatic 4 speed in it. I completely reworked the suspension to improve my launches. It was pretty awesome! Even at just over 400HP, that thing could pull low 13s. I would have been able to slip into high 12's if I used slicks. I was planning a 750HP upgrade to it before I sold it.

Oh yeah, I forgot in my last post, that my car was the STi not far from your gathering. It was dirty white, right? I'm going to give both my car and truck a bath tomorrow! They are looking pretty crappy right now!
