996 GT3 LWFW

Is having a lightened flywheel & rs pulley fitted worth the expense (3-4k) or is it just snake oil?

Benefits : Improves the throttle response in the lower gears, makes heel and toe downshifts more rewarding.

Downsides: Can make driving in heavy traffic trickier. A lot more transmission noise when hot.

Summation : Definitely not Snake oil

Thats what I wanted to hear. The servicing bill for this car just keeps getting higher 😫

Is there any difference between the 964RS version and the 996 cup lwfw?

The late 996 Cup car and 997 Gen 2 GT3 RS's LWTF ? Yes, they're about 1.5 kgs lighter than the 964 RS item.

I wonder why the default is to get the 964 version than the 996 cup/997.2 RS item?

Bullet bitten and gone for the 996 cup flywheel

Full about heel performed and gone for the 964 rs version.

Have been advised by Michael at Sports & Classic that the 996 Cup and 997.2 gt3 rs versions have been seen with stress fractures, potentially due the additional material that has been taken off.

I trust Michael so 964rs flywheel it is. Next decision, M&M full exhaust system or something more track friendly 🤔
