Is anyone in here running one and is it worth the money to buy one. I am putting a new clutch in so now would be the time to get one. Also i just purchased an aluminum drive shaft, so that is why i was thinking about getting an aluminum flywheel. The clutch i bought is a centerforce dual friction, and the tranny is a T5. Any info will help, thanks guys.

they both have their advantages. i know with the 03 Cobras, some people prefer the steel vs. the aluminum (stock).

It'll reduce the rotating mass which will put less strain on the motor but it will also allow the engine to rev higher faster.
I think I'd just stick with the stocker.

Those both sound like a plus to me

You will get agressive engine breaking,and almost too responsive. Rpms will drop faster on shifts too. They do have drawbacks. Mostly not as smooth to drive. This is assuming it has a large reduction in weight.

clutch and driving ability have a big part in smoothness. i personally like the way they rev and i had no problems driving it whatsoever with a centerforce df clutch. the harder the petal probably the more tricky it will be to drive

most people say a steel flywheel feels smoother, are easier as a daily driver and are easier to launch because they store more energy than the aluminum. less slipping of the clutch is needed.

The flywheel that i ended up buying is a billet aluminum one with a billet steel insert where the clutch actually contacts the flywheel. I decided to go with this ones because it sound like it is good all around, loose the weight but still have the billet steel contact to the clutch. hopefully i made a good decision.

with the debate as to which is really better, i dont think you can go wrong (or right lol).

i got one on my car its a fidanza aluminum fly.... its ok. it feels koo when you down shift you feel a quicker response... but for the 350 bucks i think i should have gotten some thing better... used nitrous perhaps

i wnetwith the fidanza since I got a deal for buying two and hci bought one of em. I like it but I get driveline tramp in reverse if I accellerate too fast. maybe thats some otherproblem but my aluminum ds was supposed to have been balanced. Maybe they put it back on worng. Overall I like my fidanza but dont like my spec3 [ April 14, 2007, 02:48 AM: Message edited by: ryancway ]
