[Matt@SNL[OLD]]

WOW! Already found a tester! Looking forward to meeting you!

We at Monster Clutch are looking for someone that has a GXP and that would like a Monster Clutch in their ride. All we need form you is for you to leave the car with up for 3-4 days so that we may take some measurements and install the clutch. You will also get to choose what Monster Level you want!!!

Give us a call at the shop to set everything up.

I feel even better about the stage 3 Monster clutch! I hunted down a few reviews and the were all good. Here's one with a C6 Corvette. I'm looking forward to my road trip now! :D


Stage 3 Monster Clutch with Billet Steel Flywheel Review – Part II

"Part I" of this review consists of my initial impressions of the clutch (after installing it). Part I of the review is located at: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...ew-part-i.html

During the break in period I noticed very little chattering. Only when trying to start from a complete stop with the RPMs very low (e.g. ~1000 RPM) could I get the clutch to chatter. What did happen (until the clutch was broken in) was that the clutch would "chirp" when starting from a dead stop. When shifting into the second gear the clutch would also sometimes make a chirp sound, but this time the chirp would be shorter in length. The "chirping" sound was noticeable enough that just about any passenger I had would comment on it and ask what it was. I was not worried about the sound (I figured it would go away as the clutch was broken in), but I called Monster none-the-less to hear what their opinion was. Monster stated the sound was "OK" and that it was just the clutch surfaces not being mated to each other yet. Sure enough, a few hundred miles later the chirping sound disappeared.

How well can the clutch be slipped? From what I can remember of my stock clutch, I think this clutch can actually be slipped more than the stock clutch.

How is the clutch for driving? 99% of my driving is "stop and go" city driving. I think the DIC on my car reports my average speed as being something like 20 MPH? The clutch is a dream to use in stop and go traffic. The clutch pedal pressure is great, and when combined with a clutch that can be slipped, stop and go traffic is of no concern.

For pedal feel and driviability, the stock clutch was great. I find the Monster Stage 3 clutch to be even better. The Monster Stage 3 clutch being good up to 700 RWHP / 700 RWTQ is just an added bonus. :-)

A friend of mine has the Monster Stage 6.5. That clutch is a single disc and is rated for 900 RWHP / 900 RWTQ. The clutch pedal is stiffer, but is in no way "crazy stiff". I have felt/used clutches that were stiffer and yet did not hold nearly as much power.

Job well done Monster!

congrats brandon, make the best of it and see Charlie & Patrick

Charlie is a long way away from Dallas. I'm not sure where Patrick is. Texas is a big honking state!

[Punisher]

Charlie would only be another 3 to 4 hours on I-45 South. Patrick add another 3 hours on 59S to Victoria, TX...but it all depends how fast you drive

Dallas-Houston-Victoria. No problem. Just start early. I've been to your home state. The locals thought Durham to Raleigh was a long way. I drive that far to work and my commute is short. You need to get some perspective.

Yeah, that's one time where I'm glad to not be from a country sized state.
