Most of us have also stated that we tried slipping the clutch. Like I said if you slip it for more than a second it burns. You can smell it really quickly. I think that's plenty of proof for ya don't ya think. Do a search, read the mag articles and know the truth. If someone finds a miracle way to slip it properly and get better times then they'll be a god send. Until then dump it.

They slipped the clutch on this M2 wrx and found out it was the best. Made it turn 0 to 60 in 4.4 sec!
