I have seen a 409 impala nearly cut in half by a flywheel that let go. Tranny tunnel didn't stop the parts, dashboard didn't slow them, windshield was gone, brake pedal arm severed cleanly. On a cobra, that flywheel is moved back quite a bit. $300 to save me and my car, just in case that one in a million chance, you betcha.
