It's all about where the Fulcrum is on the external slave setup. Guess we will see if they are spewing BS or not when I drive it.
From ATS:
Description
ATS Spec II Triple Plate Carbon Clutch is intended for extreme powers as high as 1,200 hp (at the wheel). At the same time, we made half clutch operation even easier to control than it is for the carbon single/twin clutch. There is absolutely no need to worry about poor disengagement. The carbon disk weighs 210g and inertia weight is kept at a minimum, so that gear shifting is as quick as it is with a regular clutch. This is the ultimate clutch that is much longer-lasting than metal clutches, astonishingly strong because of our non-mesh random-weaving method, and will not be damaged by repeated severe driving.
With the introduction of Spec II, ATS successfully made the pedal effort lighter than stock (w/ 1,400kg clamping force) which has enhanced your driving comfort and pleasure immensely.
Equipped with the newly designed pressure plates & middle plate(s), Spec II can provide a very comfortable driving with much less pedal effort than before or offer a significantly higher torque delivery with the same pedal effort as the previous version.
The new version also offers more choices on the clamping rate from 1,100 kg . The Prospec II (Single carbon) w/ 1,600 kg clamping rate achieves the rated horse power of 390 at the wheel with a lighter pedal effort than the previous Prospec w/ 1,000kg clamping rate. Moreover, the Spec II twin carbon clutch w/ 2,300kg clamping rate is rated at a whopping 900 hp with the same pedal effort of the previous 1,350kg model. In 2010, ATS added Prospec II (Single carbon) 2,400kg which boasts 550 hp rating (at the wheel) with lighter than stock pedal effort.
