I know who made the clutches ..... and I think the difference between a SP
High perf motorsport disc and pressure plate .... is that .. for the masses
... not everyone needs a clutch that will handle real race track conditions.

I had a clutch made by the same manufacuter 11 years later ... for my S/C
SHO ..... which was putting out 350 HP. The clutch they made for that car
was able to with stand $400 HP ..... and they built it for me as a favor ...
at there cost .... for the tune of $1400  ~

Just takes money !
