I certainly agree here.
But if you could get quicker acceleration just by lightening the flywheel, I would have guessed that Ford engineers would have specified flywheels lighter than they are now, only heavy enough to keep the motor from stalling.
I guess I am not taking into account any clutch slippage in my thinking process, as one factor.
Interesting, though.
