Default Light weight flexplate??

Is anyone making one for these cars? I can't seem to find them if there is one.

I can't find the chart Chris @ CircleD did, but he has all the aftermarket and stock flexplate weights in a graphic. There is a 1.5lbs difference between the lightest and heaviest. All are less than 8lbs.

So, I have to ask, what are you trying to accomplish? This isn't the same as a flywheel. You aren't going to gain much by eliminating 1-2lbs. You gain more from eliminating 25-30lbs from the stock stall by switching to a 9.5" billet aftermarket converter.

I'm a m6. I use a auto flexplate and a button clutch set-up. Just looking for a way to get rid of another lb or 2. Also I have noticed some have bigger holes than others, some even have a huge triangle opening which would allow me better access to my button bolts.
