Thanks Brian and rjsmith ... for your info on the clutch feel -- which sounds excellent.


Now ... how is the "feel" of the carbon flywheel -vs- the Fidanza flywheel ??



Thanks

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.
