Default clutch was smoked!!

i sent a pic to a few people but i figured i would share with the rest. well the "miracle" clutch is done and yes it was the STOCK clutch ( 89k ). this thing has held up to some real abuse, pulled the 17's at the track, broke two rear ends, many 6k launches on the spray and made my first 10 second pass... stock wtf! as you can see from the pics it was engageing solely on the rivets holding the disc together.











and here is what took its place.

yeah its in. i actually did the install this past saturday. so far i only have 60 miles on the clutch. i need to hit that 500 mile mark so the 325 m/t's can go back on! the stage 3 is rated for 750 ft lbs. my car only made around 530 so i think i will be fine.
