Aluminum Flywheel

This one is a much better deal. They are on Ebay all the time for this price and are just as good as the expensive ones and I believe a little lighter.

Fidanza and Ebay are for those with most brains of all. All I did was pi$$ money away on the CF flywheel....

The question you should be asking is "how heavy is your flywheel?" when comparing them versus each other. They are not all the same weight. There are lightweight steel flywheels that approach the weight of an aluminum one. Single disc, multi-disc, etc. Ask about the weight.

My overpriced CF flywheel touts itself as having "a replaceable steel friction surface that has been heat-treated for abrasion resistance and long life." Not that I need it yet, but neither their web site nor their new, and lengthy, 2009 catalog lists that part. I have a feeling that the cost of that part is greater than a new Fidanza flywheel....

I think you need to try one of the McLeod RST twin disc setups Patrick....

You'd be a good guinea pig. $685 and it's all yours.

Hmmm, tempting. Truth be told, there's a lot of overkill on the clutches around here. As easy as these cars spin their wheels, you don't really need all that much of a clutch -- and now that I think about it a lot of those race-only type clutches give you a good bit of chatter on the street with gentle stoplight take offs. You don't hear that mentioned all that often, though.
