Amen to that.
Not that it will matter one whit......my car weighs 2390 lbs, has a 9:1 compression 302, B cam and 650 Demon; it has 4.09:1 gears and the Tremec .68 hi gear 5 speed. It also has a 12 lb. (weighed) Fidenza aluminum wheel. I can let the clutch out (a stock 10.5", by the way) at the 800 rpm idle, without touching the gas, and drive away comfortably without slipping anything.
And it revs like a sprint car. Big bore Jap bikes are surprised regularly. Most cars don't stand a chance, altho I admit ZO6 Corvettes are awesomely fast.
The only thing given away is hi gear torque and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the flywheel.
