- "...lightening will definitely make a difference, and in fact will help with braking of the car because the centripital force will cause the car to go sideways when you step on the brake." Alan, Can

- Lightened flywheel advantage:???? Quicker reving due to lower centrifigul mass. disadvantage:? Loss of torque that the heavier flywheel carries, best felt when transitioning from throttle off to thro

- Thanks for the email. I don't disagree with the traditional advantages of a lightened flywheel (I have them on my Healey and Lotus), but if you read Alan's post more closely, he is suggesting the ro

- I'm guessing that Alan meant a torque reaction affecting the chassis through the motor-mounts, hence slightly altering side-to-side pressure on the suspension - and thus the steering. Certainly it ca

- I was once told by a very successful professional race engine builder that you had to be careful lightening flywheels as the mass was calculated to direct harmonic vibration at a point in the cranksh

- The force described is what is known as "gyroscopic precession." A gyroscope will react in opposite direction to an applied force 90deg in the direction of rotation. Since a flywheel is effectively a
