I have a fidanza and I love it. Like mentioned above, the only con is it will take a little getting used to in order to properly launch it, and to take off from a stop normally...gotta give it a little more gas.

cons: as said above and a bit harder to reverse. Especialy if its up a hill in my experience. In foward its not a problem. Bit tricker if you stop on an incline.
Pros. Easier to rev match. Ive noticed its easier to pass in 5th gear. Great throttle responce.
I love my flywheel. It has made the car much more fun to drive.

any loss of mpg? I feel like i'm losing ~5mpg. I could be just the way i drive around now. Since, it revs faster. i tend to leave my foot on the gas longer....
so...
con-bad as mileage? i could be wrong.
pros. VROOOOM!

I didn't notice decreased gas mileage...you probably just get on the throttle more now. Could be the fact that you need to give it more gas to stay at a constant speed because the RPMs drop faster.
