How does the Shelby's clutch hold up during hard launch?

By "Hard launch" I mean trying for fast ET with DR.

It is hard to launch when you don't have it yet. It's on a slow train to Texas.

Automobile magazine dumped the clutch at 3200 rpm with the traction control on and got the best number possible, something like 4.6 sec to 60mph. I assume they did this a ton and even with the electronics off.

If the GT500 given out to the journalists did it over and over, it's a safe bet a brand new one's going to be fine. Any more rpm's and all bets are off.
