    "or drive hard" is simply not true.

    In Reply to: RS4 clutch is great if you don't launch the car or drive hard posted by spinny201 on 2008-09-01 19:26:24

    While dropping the clutch at 6K RPMs certainly will require an aftermarket clutch, if you don't plan on doing those types of launches as you indicate, the RS4 clutch will be fine.

    I have Stage 3 minus (GIAC), but have tracked the car extensively with no clutch issues. I don't do drop clutch launches, but I do heel-toe and rev match on all downshifts which helps clutch, transmission and gear synchros.
