No. At least not perceptibly.
A. The flywheel mass is tiny compared to the moment of inertia of the spinning
car. If that mass were spinning much faster than 6000 RPM you might have a
useful gyroscope.
B. The flywheel doesn?t increase rpm instantly?there?s a substantial lag.
C. The reaction force from rotational force in the spin plane applied to an
axial gyroscope is 90 degrees to the spin. Resisting that force applies some
counterforce, but it?s a fart in a hurricane. Not much help there.
