I'm sure most of you have already experience a clutch problem or two, so i will save you the details. i have an 09 Shelby, it's at the dealers getting a new clutch. It's seems that Ford wants to blame the driver for hotrodding (that's B.S. and they know it). I don't have that kind of cash to be repairing the clutch every year. Is there any clutch perhaps a performance clutch that can eliminate the headaches?

I'm looking for suggestions.

Everyone will have a different opinion. Most answers will be a Spec 2 or Mcleod.

It's all going to be about preference. I would stick with a good name brand. (Ram, Spec, Centerforce etc.) Just make sure that your sized for the torque rating and you should be good to go. There is a gentleman on here tag named JerseyGator. He has a GT500 wouldn't hurt to ask him.

I believe Pete is on the stock clutch. Honestly, Any car here that is around your hp/tq. will be fine.

RAM. If you have any doubts go to their web site and read their Clutch University. I've used their powergrip setup with great success on a street strip application ant it took constant abuse without issue. It was only 300ish HP so you may need a bit stronger application.
