Default Dude, the flywheel is an extra $800 or so (I think)

unless you cooked yours, you don't really need to spend that much coin on a 50lb hunk of metal ;-) Buy a lighter one, if you want

I just changed the pressure plate and clutch disc... my flywheel was fine (couldn't resurface it due to the dual mass floating action :-( )

I don't think its broken, man that car is fast, but the clutch pedal is so stiff hurts my left calf

Default RS4 flywheel and PP..and that's not stiff..try the clutch on a Countach

for a street car, that a stiff clutch pedal!

I'd guess-timate that the RS4 clutch assembly feels ~15% stiffer than stock

It may be a wee bit harder to score a Camel lights car than a GTO ;-)

Default Dude?, you need to go the the gym :-)

Default For a lighter flywheel - sure, I agree...

but if your stock flywheel is in decent shape, I don't think it is worth it

Then again, everyone places different values on things, right? ;-)
