Reply to "aluminum flywheel"

Hi,
There is less mass to rotate with an aluminium flywheel. The big diameter of the flywheel strengthens this effect. When you push the throttle, with a heavy flywheel, it takes longer time for the engine to gain rpm. The energy used during "rev-up-time" is then stored in the flywheel. And may be used as "extra" torque to launch the car. But as soon as the car has left the line and the car hooks-up, a LIGHT flywheel is to prefer.
Now, the Pantera is a sportscar, and benefit the most from a LIGHT flywheel. That creates a nice road driving response. The ZF is not very impressed by the "heavy flywheel 7000 rpm" starts anyway. You do NOT suffer engine torque. But you may notice a slight more nervous idle, and use a little more clutch.
