Sachs Organic Clutch - Corsa SRI Race Car

With the Corsa SRI race car putting out 400+ bhp and 385+ ftlb torque it was essential to ensure that all of this power could safely and reliably be laid down on the road. The last thing we wanted was to incur terminal damage and wear to the pressure and drive plates when driving the Corsa race car hard and fast.
Our solution has been to fit a ZF Sachs Performance Clutch and to have the standard OEM Astra VXR flywheel lightened and balanced. As the Corsa is to be driven on both the road and track we decided, at this stage, not to fit a single billet flywheel so as to avoid possible resonance and vibration transfer from the engine.
The Sachs clutch cover, matched to a rigid organic drive plate, which gives a virtual OEM pedal response is rated at 407 lb/ft torque when used in combination with this up-rated organic drive plate.
