    Awesome car. Sucks that the clutch pooped out. Been doin some hard launches? If it turns out the clutch is in fact done, I would invest in a GOOD clutch upgrade. Just so you don't have to worry about it in the future when you add some power....you'll know the clutch is solid and won't get annihilated the first time you launch it hard. I'd recommend a SPEC or ACT clutch.

    Such is the case for 2WD cars but a lot of AWD guys like running the stock clutch even at higher power levels so that if anything happens the clutch goes out before the transmission blows.
