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 throttle on such as when you exit a corner
and get on the gas.

Alan,
Can you point to a reference article with respect to
this unusual theory. I have set up a few cars and a
discussion of rotating flywheel direction and braking
were never correlated. In other words, you are saying
that since I am using the Bolton lighten flywheel, my
car stops straighter. Really?
