Default Used Textralia Clutch?

Wanted to get some more opinions on this. From the few Ive talked to already, it seems some are totally against this, and the others dont see a problem with it.

A friend of mine has a 2000 Z28 M6. Stock longblock, 9 inch, and spray. He wore his RAM HD out last fall. He bought a Textralia OZ700. Ran it in his car for around 2,000 miles, and made only a handfull of track passes. The clutch held fine into the high 1.50's. Ran out 11.0 up top.

Since then, hes decided to swap in a 4L80e. Hes priced his Textralia, and flywheel to me at a very, very good price. The clutch is still installed in his car at the momment, sitting in his garage. It still grabs perfect.

Anything against installing this in my 05 GTO? Sure, its not brand new, so the clutch itself wont last as long. But I should be able to get some good life out of it.

Let me know what you guys think.

I did. Got the whole assembly for like 350. Got the clutch rebuilt and got a new pressure plate. And it works great.

I'd do it if it's from a buddy and it's a good deal...I wouldn't buy a used one from some random clown on the net though.

For them to resurface the flywheel, put new friction material on the disk and for a new pressure plate was all around 120 bucks. The pressure plate was 60 bucks fwiw. They took one look at the plate and told me it looks like a standard plate to them, they also said that about the friction material as well, being that it is a ceramic type.
