Tom is right. My aluminum flywheel is less than 20 lbs. and I love it. Yes, I know I have a big FE with a 3.54 rear, but it really is not a whole lot different taking off from a stop than driving any other car with a clutch. It might even bit a little safer because it revs down faster not having the stored energy.
