I've heard that they have weak clutches from the factory. I've read numerous people reporting slipping clutches on cars with less than 2000 miles, and some when they were test driving them.

they break stock. wheel hopis very bad in these cars so you have to be careful at the track. Most people like myself just save themselves the trouble and upgrade the axles. It is all in the driver until you put the drag radials on the they sometimes snap becuase of traction

not a weak clutch it is just learning how to drive it. the clutch engages almost at the top of the pedal so it is very easy to slip one unintentionally. Most inexperienced drivers will go through a stock clutch others go to the track every weekend and have 30,000 miles on it with not one slip

You're the only person i've seen brag about their trap speed, but fail to mention their ET. Pathetic like that V6, no?

Your car traps OK in the 1/8th, but trap speeds do not win races, lowET's do

they do if your on the road and soem guy wants to run but you can't catch a light. i like roll racing better because you won't attract as much attention becuase you are not usually squeeling your tires
