There have been many debates on the aluminum vs steel flywheels on Club Cobra. But to quickly answer your question and not hijack this thread, the advantage is the engine accelerates faster. This obviously helps in accelerating the car... but it also helps in shifting gears. The lighter flywheel helps the engine speed match quicker to the transmission speed. This is most apparent when heal and towing.
