a clutch with three plates but is not needed unless you put down more than 700hp at the crank and it's a b*tch to engage in traffic

if the torque produced by the engine exceeds the friction and clamping force of a clutch, then you need a clutch upgrade. having 3 discs in your clutch multiplies clamping force by 6 since there are 2 surfaces per disc. etc etc. that's the idea.

say your drive train was two parts. it would be your engine and then your wheels (over simplified). the clutch connects your wheels to the engine. since the clutch can only support so much initial torque, it will slip if the engine produces more torque than the clutch disc can grip. so if you're making more torque than the clutch is good for, upgrade it.

More like the EVO on crack... I've only known Skylines and Supra's that actually find useful having a triple DC.
