Thanks for correcting my mistake ... the flywheel is billet aluminum.
Now back to the original questions ...
1/ What is the approximate weight of this flywheel ??
2/ How is the driving "feel" of this flywheel -vs- the Fidanza flywheel ??

Hi,
I show the flywheel to weigh around 8 or 8.5 lbs.
As for how it compairs to other alum flywheels, due to the fact that the rest of the clutch kit is lighter too, it would rev faster than just adding a light weight flywheel. Also with the light weight disc, it will shift easier and faster than a normal disc set-ups. The less rotating weight you have on the crank the more power that would be sent to the tires causing the car to accelerate faster.
