Default Can you ID this Bolt pattern? Cobra flywheel for GT?

I've read many threads on this and other forums about the compatibility of cobra aluminum flywheels for GT's. I'm getting my 99GT's clutch replaced, and want to buy a cheap used alum flywheel. Is the one pictured below a 8-bolt or 6-bolt?? I see 8 holes, but as you can see, two are smaller, and I'm not sure if the pattern will match my 99 (I have read that the 99-00's have 8 bolt mains). Maybe it is a stupid question (there are 8 holes, right?) but when trying to google image search 8 bolt vs. 6 bolt flywheels, I've seen so many different patterns, I'm totally confused, and I just want to know if this thing will fit my 99. Can anyone help ID this as an 8bolt flywheel? The seller doesn't know much about it, but he says it came out of a 4.6 Cobra...

That is a 6 bolt flywheel. The smaller holes are just machining holes. Heres an 8 bolt for reference:

Perfect. Thanks, GreyGT. Probably saved me a hundred bucks there. Nice car, btw.
