928Motorsports.com Running SPEC Clutch Sets 216.63537 MPH As Fastest Porsche 928 in the World!

The 928Motorsports.com guys broke the Fastest Porsche 928 record at the Salt Flats recently with a 216.63537 MPH trap speed. The team is coming back next year for more and here is what they had to say, "We fell just 15 MPH short of another record we wanted, for Modified Sports Cars, as the salt condition was poor and we had more HP than traction. I'm taking the car to a wind tunnel in November to find the downforce we need, and we will go back to Bonneville in 2012." Here is the trap speed slip!

Drift Day 101 Clutch Testimonial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekOc9DL3cE0&feature=related

This is a note we got from Naoki Kobayashi who runs the Drift 101 events about how long our product as held up in his rental drift cars.

I was changing out the transmission on our Drift 101 car the other day and I noticed that the clutches you had sponsored us 4 years ago are still in great condition.

I am not sure if you know what our clutches can go through in a 1 day session but with over 100 different students using our cars, I am still amazed at how well the clutches still works.

This is my testament for your product.

"Under the hood, builders incorporated an AEM intake, Magnaflow exhaust system, and ARK Performance headers to help reach a targeted power goal of 330 ponies and 280 lb. ft. of torque. A Moroso accumulator ensures proper lubrication of the engine under the expected 1.4 g's of cornering loads, and Earl's fittings, lines, and oil cooler guarantee a steady flow of oil to the 3.8-liter V6 under all conditions. A lightweight Spec Racing clutch facilitates the handshake between engine and the close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox."
