Yeah, it's essentially flywheel-less. It has such little mass that the engine stops from compression before it even turns over once. So instead of the dying engine sound while the moving parts' momentum carries the engine around a few times, it's like a switch: just instant silence and motionlessness.

I'll be the first to admit when I am wrong ... I'm wrong. I was basing my comment on the picture, which you have to admit looks like a very small flywheel on the right. Here is a link to an article that actually says it has no flywheel ... all the other links simply talk about the clutch setup, not the lack of a flywheel in such a setup: http://www.fast-autos.com/fan/carreragtprodn.html

There are some good reads on 6speedonline, where a bunch of Carrera GT owners post. Quite a few of them hate the on/off feel of the clutch, but most seem to be getting used to them. One guy couldn't even get the car home and sold it immediately.

gotapex, do you know the hp limits of the getrag 6 speed gearbox? Has anyone stripped any gears? Whats the highest horsepower Noble running the getrag? Im guessing the Getrag 6 speed is stronger internally than the MTX-75?

I think the most anyone's run on the street is around 400-425 rwhp. Lee Noble's been running one in the mid-engined sports car series and winning though, and I think that's probably putting much more strain on the powertrain than street use.
It uses 265/35YR18 tires in the rear. The stock tires are DOT-R semi-slicks. I'm sure that if we were talking about street tire or smaller tire applications, it could take a LOT more power.

Yeah, mid-engined, RWD.
