Originally posted by fastcougar: With that much power/torque, why go with a light flywheel? A heavier flywheel will allow you to maintain more revs between shifts and would drop you into more of the sweet spot than a Fidanza would. Now, with your "foot-to-the-floor" option on the traction control system, this won't really matter, but without it, you will have to blip the gas every time you depress the clutch. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
BTW, sweet car ... you are living a great many people's dreams ... thank whatever god it is you believe in that you can afford this project.
I went with a lightened flywheel because it rev's faster, both up and down. I'm more interested in roadracing than dragracing. Between shifts though, you're dropped to the same RPM, despite the 9 lb difference in flywheel weight.
Originally posted by rmcd79: That doesn't look like the clutch out of a Carrera GT, unless the perspective is real weird. I remember it being like 9 inches across and 11 inches long, extremely small. I could be wrong though.
That is the ZF Sachs Race Engineering ceramic clutch for the Carrera GT. Info here:
There's no standard dual-mass flywheel, but a flywheel ring gear. Sometimes, they call it flywheel-less. The clutch itself is 6.6" in diameter and 7.7 lbs.
