Well over the past couple of week i have noticed that my car seems "sluggish" when i start from a dead stop. Now im not talking about a racing start, but more a normal start. It just feels like the car weights 10,000 lbs and doesnt want to move. I have a feeling it has something to do with the clutch. That, and i cant make the tires squick (sp) from first to second.

Sooo my question is... would you guys choose a Spec stage 3 over a fidanza 3.2?

I think both are good clutches... but i want to see what you guys would pick!

What are your mods? If you are not at the horsepower and torque levels for that spec stage 3 clutch, it's useless to spend the extra money to get it. A lot of people who have those clutches say that it makes the drivability of the car worse. If you are planning the typical bolt ons I would suggest going no higher than a stage 2. Bigger in this case isn't always better.

need to know your mods or numbers before we can recomend anything.

sounds like your car is mostly stock if you cant chirp 1-2. if so i'd get a Mcleod dual friction clutch

Well this car is pretty much stock, with a couple of bolt on. I have a CAI, throttle body and plenum, along with a magnapack catback exhaust. This winter im going 4.10 gears, headers and midpipe. Thats all i plan to do on the car for now. What do you think?

Mcleod dual friction, i had 2 in my car. one 10 spline and one 26 spline. they will hold up great with your mods and leave room to grow.

Why would a clutch make the car sluggish? If the clutch is funny engages, it would have no bearing on how quick it is.


I think you are looking at the wrong part. Now chirping the tires doesn't mean it's the clutch either.

You could be down on power or may be time for a tune up.
