clutch test drive

Looks like I will need a new clutch soon. I would like to test drive your car if you have one of these (preferrably on a WRX since that's what I have):

Exedy Organic Clutch Kit and Steetlite Flywheel
ACT HD Street Disc Kit and Streetlite Flywheel
OEM Clutch and a lighten flywheel (preferrably Streetlite or something in the 14lb range)

I will buy you lunch. Test drive will be easy street driving, I just want to check out how drivable it is since my wife drives the car on occasions.

I will pay for any damages if they occur. I will sign a liability form if you want, if we go this route you will have to sign off after the drive that everythingis ok.

I'm 32 and have driven a stick since day 1. Again, all I want to do is take it around the block a few times and check out the drivability of these setups.

I live in Santa Clara so hopefully this will happen in the south bay. thanks

ahh did you read my post? drivability meaning to see how the clutch engage, how heavy or light it is, how the lightened flywheel affects start up. I don't even plan on taking it past 3-4k rpm all I want is to take it around the block a few times.

like I said, my wife drives the car from time to time. I don't want to get the clutch and have her tell me it's too difficult for her to drive it.

I put that line in there is to let any one nice enough to do this that I will pay if on the rare chance something happens. But I also must protect myself if I sign a liability form that it is signed off that no damages occur.
