Watch them start burning up clutches quickly too. Unless of course Honda/Acura can perfect it so that it doesn't actually cause the clutch to slip too much and burn up like the Evo clutch does.
A one-way orifice located in the slave cylinder restricts return fluid flow during rapid clutch engagement. This serves to reduce driveline shock and limit the torque load on transmission components by gradually engaging the clutch during rapid clutch engagement. While this smooth engagement is great for around town driving, it'll be at a slight dis-advantage at the drag strip. The TOV will be sure to verify this for you in the future. ;-)
