6 puck is serious business (for a street car).
Clutch is like suspension tho, everyone is going to have their own idea of "drivability".

*edit* - I'll add the following...

Since this car even with a max'd out 18G (which is all I'm referring to) shouldn't make much more than 350wtq, I think most "stage 1" clutches will be fine. Organic material, engagement like stock, with some more clamping ability - Maybe a "stage 1.5-2" if you plan on drag racing/drifting, however for auto-x and HPDE, you don't really need to launch the car or shift super hard - launching is going to be what kills the clutch in the most short order. So I don't see the need for a more aggressive clutch, unless you're upgrading the turbo or plan on drag racing a good bit.
