Default Re: Aluminum Flywheel

Pete I know you know your stuff.



To me the weight of the flywheel has some play in overall performance. The lighter it is the quicker it spins up. Good for race. It also does not maintain momentum. A heavier flywheel is good for street use or driving.


Not sure a aluminum flywheel is safer for street use. Maybe drag, without a shield?


All is valid for a race car not a street car.


A heavier flywheel is good for a street or tour car. It creates momentum.


Or I'm wrong. I'm okay with being wrong.
