yea i'm positive

just driving around i've slipped it, rode it a little, & dropped it. i thought something was wrong with it for a while because the pedal was so soft (i've only drove a stock clutch in a f-body once). turns out its awesome!

Very clean. Here are some comparison photos for you. This is an RPS Stage 3+ clutch with 2900lb. pressure plate. The clutch has 25 or so runs on it at the strip and a bunch of street thrashings as well.









The car is an '05 GTO with 505hp/480tq at the wheels.

can anyone help me diagnose these pics. how can you tell that the clutch is wearing well or not glazed. what do you see in these pics that tell you that the clutch is doing well?
