I totally understand exactly what you are talking about. I've driven a few high HP cars, ie, big block Chebby's, with major-league clutches/steel flywheels. Talk about "hard-hitting"....WOW! Not very nice manners on the street, either.....YIKES!!!

OK, so then its an aluminum flywheel for better street manners and daily-driving!

Thanks!

ps. so how's the 3+ fare as far as being in a daily driven car.....hard to slip from a stop, or ??? I've read that these clutches hold like grim-death, but can be cumbersome to negotiate? I assume that sentiment has a lot to do with the infamous "driver-mod"?
