In my opinion, a big tailback on a hot summer day is suffice
You will slowly travel for a few hours until the clutch stops working.

And then it's time to say Yeah!!! I saved $ 80

Been in traffic plenty and I never felt the clutch start to act funny.

Will you feel a difference after hot lapping at the track? Yes.

10k mile update: I don't even notice it anymore lol

Still enjoying the lighter flywheel. I do recommend installing the updated clutch pedal assembly from a ZL1. It comes with a real return spring that helps avoid the hanging pedal.

10/10 would do again, only lighter next time!

Just to close this one out:

I put about 65-70k miles on this set up and it developed a decent bit of vibration between 2-3k rpms so i think for anyone wanting to try this out i would limit it to 50k miles. I dont think the flywheel can handle more mileage than that.

Decent clutch and flywheel option though if you want to reduce some weight.

I am not convinced you need the bearing support. Pretty sure thats a waste unless you’re serious about drag racing and putting a ton of heat in the clutch.

Thanks for the followup. What are you going to go with now?

Summit Twin With organic discs. Miles better than both prior clutches but the pedal effort has gone up. Nothing crazy but it will need some getting used to

My friend's acquaintance...

One invitation to an all-day trackday on the circuit was enough and the support collapsed after warming up.
I gave him mine what I took out of my bearing so he could sell the car in a rage.



He never raced with it and didn't even want to race.
He was just learning to drive his car safely under the supervision of a racing school instructor.

He now has a 911 Turbo.

Cool story, but it sounds like your buddy is more of an automatic guy.

Also, you completely missed the last sentence of my post. Go back and read it again because i think you’ll realize i agree with you for track use. Noob.

Of course I read it to the end.
And I certainly don't mean it badly or sarcastically

I don't know the boy very well. I only talked to him a few times and he was on a ride with us a few times. But as far as I know, he always had beautiful cars and always preferred manuals.
And it didn't seem to me that he couldn't handle the clutch.
In addition, he had an instructor next to him.

He had a Camaro as a joy car.
He never raced with him - basically he just went on a circuit with him for one day after the boys invited him.
And it's just sad not to be able to use a sports car on a sports track, because the clutch bearing support can be damaged.


You can break the car, burn the brakes, burn the clutch plate, rip the tires, boil brake fluid. But this thing just can't break when I'm going fast ... simply put.

The bearing is heating up and therefore I think it should be on a heat-resistant base. That is all.
