An engine with an aluminum flywheel
slows down faster as well. In a Cobra, I think that makes it safer. I can't think of any reason to put a heavier flywheel in a Cobra unless all you do is march in a parade line. Now, blipping the throttle when the car is
not in gear is fun, especially with a big ol' FE (which you don't have). The engine does not go vroom-vroom, it just goes boom. You can't even tell that it's speeding up, it just sounds like it explodes. 800RPM to 3000RPM instantly, without ever going through 1000, 2000, or 2500. It's the magic of aluminum.
