LS1 and LS2 cars all make more power than 330HP and they all have standard hydro-assist single clutches, and they were perfectly strong and easy to press.

When you start making 450+HP is when you may need a twin disc clutch. (And even then, not really)

Lol you dont even need an expensive clutch for more than 500hp. I dont know what kind of clutches the Z06 and ZR1 uses but im sure its the standard hydro assist type. Edit...just looked it up, its a twin disc. My bad
