Today, my clutch fan locked up. It was awesome and bad at the same time. Had no topend power. But it was funny that my car sounded like a semi accelerating. Ever hear that big fan spin at 6500 rpm? Its is ungodly loud.

I say get rid of it too, I took off my Clutch Fan and my god, talk about a lack of resistance on the launch, it looks cleaner and sounds better.
