well....you need to hear more.
mine self destructed in less than a year on daily driving; and i didn't abuse it at all.
check around and you're going to find a lot of people have had miserable luck with the 0Z 700.
mine was professionally installed and broken in properly. the chatter was unbearable. i was embarrassed to put anyone in the car with me.
save yourself the $$.

And I don't know where you're getting this info from that a lot of people are having all kinds of issues with them. Every clutch company will get a few bad reviews (many of the problems end up not being the company's/clutch's fault in the first place), but the VAST majority of Tex owners I've read reviews from or talked to rave about this clutch, especially those who track their cars.My OZ700 Z-grip has awesome driveability and performs extremely well at the track with about 9,000 miles on it so far and multiple track rentals/beatings (5000 RPM launches on 26x10.5x16 ET Streets). The pedal feel is the only aftermarket clutch I've ever driven for these cars that actually has the same weight as a stock LS1 clutch, only with a more positive feel.
Slipping from a stop is no issue, although the X-grip is supposedly even more street friendly than the Z-grip I have, according to Textralia and their suppliers. If this is true, that's impressive because the Z-grip is already kickass for a daily driven clutch with the clamping power it has. I had a little bit of chatter from a stop when I first installed the clutch, but it was gone by about the 50 mile mark. I highly recommend it.

I have a X-Grip in my car, and it's my daily driver. It chattered alittle for the first 200-300 miles. Now it's as quiet as stock. The pedal feel is a just a touch harder than the stocker. As for being streetable, I can get the car moving without giving it any gas at all. The best clutch IMHO.
