Also, please let us know how bad the "clutch/flywheel chatter" is...

Congrats you'll love it.

The clutch is very forgiving when driving once you get used to it (and its pretty well broken in for me now). The worst bit of chatter noise is a "grinding" sound (can't really describe it) somewhere around 2,000 RPM's under load in any gear. Its bad if you're cruising with no radio and listening for it, but my roommate who knows the noise (from another friends Z) didn't hear it until I turned the radio off and intentionally made the noise.

It really isn't that bad in the car. I can't comment how it sounds from outside, still trying to get a good camera to try to grab sound clips.

I have a G with it in, and it is noisy, but not annoyingly so. People definately know im a racer when we come to the line, and its DEFINATELY not OEM, but the feel is great and the lightweight flywheel lets you slam through gears so much faster!
