I've had the Aasco LWFW and a sprung Spec stage 3 plus clutch in my autocross car for 5 years/40K+ miles and it works great. If you are going with the LWFW, be sure to get a sprung clutch, not the solid unit that would match the dual mass FW.
There is certainly a difference launching with the LWFW and a grabby clutch. It takes minimum 2k revs, fast feet, and nobody in front of you.
While the 986S is no wheelie-bars&parachutes drag car, it's not a turd off the line either.

Besides j.fro, some pretty lousy responses.

Blowing an older clutch while launching a car has nothing to do with driver skill or it being a straight-line car. He's enjoying his car. These kinds of things happen.

There are strong opinions among the forum members about street racing. Threads have been locked and people have left the forum. Reading the title, " Ruined my clutch racing...", I figured that someone had a bad day at the track or at an AX event.
Nope, it was kid doing stupid stuff in his Boxster:

If the OP had simply said that he had a bad clutch and was looking for recommendations to replace it, the responses would have been very different.
