Did you expect them to make a plate that holds 500lbs tq on a car that produces < 150?

I think the car costs enough as it is, thanks.

funny, my 20k vw jetta had a clutch that could hold at leasts 300 tq. last i checked the S2000 cost more, so wtf? also, i can buy an act clutch that is a disc not puck for 500 shipped to my door and it can handle 380tq. if i buy the stock replacement oem clutch its at least that much. soooooo, honda could have built it to hold more for the same price, but they choose not too. again, its a weak peice.

500tq? nah, i would settle for a measly 350 tq capability.
