D'oh. Blew my RS4 pressure-plate at Atco today. Any good alternatives?

That's not how it went...
It just was hard to shift (Four tries to get into 2nd on one run) until it fragged altogether. Launching was OK. Centrifugal force kept it engaged at higher R's, I guess.
The run I posted I shifted slowly and deliberately in every gear and didn't miss... but it took forever. The next run the PP died upon launch. F3d.

it? Give yourself some credit :-)
The car wouldn't be going anywhere without the loose nut behind the wheel, haha. Sounds like the car is running very strong, despite the clutch. 11.9 full weight on 93 w/ cats is no joke!
Weather dependant, I might be going to the strip this weekend. Although Mark P will be driving ;-)

I'd have thought he was shooting for low-mid 11's considering the enormous lag between shifts
and "looking like a total noob." The difference between 11.9 and 11.7 and 2 mph is power shifting or a mystery 20hp...

That seems pretty far to me. <lol>
If it didn't frag and force my hand regarding swapping over to the Avant, I was going to do a 100oct / stripped interior / no exhaust run next week. Oh well.

Mike I wasn't dumping on your times at all. In fact, had you posted the times without making it
sound like you did terribly I'd have though you did really well! I'm sorry if I came off as though I was doubting you, but a 1.6X 60' is not something I would ever associate with a clutch that is any less than 100%! Congrats on your numbers, looking forward to the numbers in the avant w/ whatever this turbo secret of yours is!
