Aluminum flywheel feedback.

RE: Aluminum flywheel feedback.
I don`t have the answer to your actual question, but heres the general overview. The flywheel "stores" energy, the lighter the mass the less energy it stores. In everyday driving you will need to slip the clutch a bit more to overcome the enertia of the car. In a heavy car that`s driven in regular stop & go driving this can be a P.I.T.A. and will result in faster wear on the friction material.

Ya know, there's alot of debate about this. The fact is, that every pound you can remove from the driveline equals about 7 lbs of normal vehicle weight. Your engine will rev faster with a lighter driveline, that is a fact. If your engine is using less HP to spin your driveline, then more of the power will reach your wheels. It's not brain surgery here. Why do you think race cars run light weight flywheels, driveshafts, gears, wheels and tires? Because it's faster! It's all about getting every pony you can to the ground.
