Since this thread went somewhat off topic and started discussing flywheels, can someone explain to me the what the seat of the pants difference would be with an aluminum flywheel v. steel in a 428 with lots of torque? I understand the physics of less rotating mass, faster rpm with aluminum, but is there a noticable difference on a street driven car?

Is it worth spending the extra $$ for aluminum on a very light, high torque, street driven car??

Thanks in advance,
Mike
