Nope. I mean, well, it IS easier to stall the car, yes, but it's really not a big deal. After upgrading to the fidanza, I've maybe stalled my car ONCE because of it. So I can't really say there's a drivability problem there. All other changes that are a result of it are good changes, mainly how fast the car rips through 1st and 2nd gear now, how much faster the revs climb, and the awesome throttle response.

I don't see how you can loose with the fidanza. Although some have had problems getting clutches to mate with them well. I didn't really have a problem with it, but I had the steal insert of the fidanza machined so it would help the break-in process. Seems to have worked well as I don't have any problems besides a little bit of chatter at idle, but thats because of my clutch design, not a flywheel problem.
