i could be wrong but thats how i see it.
nope, your correct (or we see it the same way :P)

My serpent clutch has kyosho weights, stock backplate and stock shoe, JP spring and normal gap settings.
But when you try it....nobody home...nobody home.... engine starts to make serious rpm.... and kaboem your car launches towards the horizon (or the closest fence :P)
It's what we call a "Italian" clutch, gives a massive punch!

it requires a well set up car, coz it's more like a switch....
depends on drivingstyle if you like it
