The problem is the flywheels were substandard for the heat and they warp. Mine failed at about 7,000 miles driven fairly moderately, never raced. Part of the TSB is a much better grade flywheel.

I'd verify the TSB on the flywheel/clutch was done or consider not buying the car. I'd say it is a pretty big deal and most of the GT500 forums I was on felt the same way. It's about a $5k fix if you have to pay for it. Oh, and the warranty is only 3 years.
