    accelerating a pound of wheel weight is like accelrating 1.5 pounds of chassis weight. accelerating a pound of tire weight is like accelrating 2 pounds on your chassis. accelrating a pound of flywheel weight is like accelerating as much as 30 pounds on your chassis depending on what gear your in



    I argued with an S2000 owner about this till no end about the difference a lightweight flywheel makes... its a HUGE difference.
