They are not expensive either. GMG has a high horsepower, chatter free lightweight flywheel/clutch kit (developed with Sachs). Check out www.gmgracing.com. They put Sharkwerks to shame.
The kit is $2700 and includes:
lightweight flywheel (13 pound billet aluminum)
sport pressure plate (up to 700 hp)
spring loaded disc (GMG proprietary no-chatter!)
and all hardware.

Ever heard a World Challenge GT3 sequential shift gearbox?????? Well, it isn't quite that noisy, but . . . . . . No, j/k. Come on guys, for anyone seriously considering a lwfw and interested in actually using the increased performance provided by one, are you really gonna ask/worry about a little chatter from the lwfw????
If your serious, you will actually think it's kinda cool, the wife will hate it and your friends will just look at you and shake their head while mumbling something about, "Hell, if you paid that much for that freaking car, you'd think it would be a little more quiet and civilized." You on the other hand will just listen and SMILE ear to ear.

Oh absolutely that's a good option too and one we and several others use/sell/install although it does require changing the PP, clutch disc etc... so this aasco based flywheel (which we all pretty much use in the industry) is a good solution for just a flywheel change (which GMG also sells I can see from the pix). Although the 700hp ones are for the TT and start with the Sachs 999 PP and so forth. On the TT's the hydraulic assist actually makes it a bit tricky to engage in 1st gear and they're quite loud (chattery if you will). I'm with you in terms of the noise when sitting at a light in neutral. It's not something that bugs me much in the Cayman, RS (stock) or any modern P-car but it's still not for everyone. Certainly worth checking out in person first to see if the noise is acceptable or not. We all have different wife-o-meters...

Yep, Alex has it right on all counts. Especially, that wife-o-meter part. But, I've found that (well, back when I had one of those things) if you had enough power you could accelerate faster than the words could leave her mouth (think traveling at the speed of light, then turning on your headlights to see if they shine in front of you) and all you could hear at that point was the sound of the car's exhaust and the little devil sitting on your left shoulder giggling, "faster . . . faster . . . make it go faster."
