Default Re: Flywheel

The heavy flywheel allows the car to lug along without dying out. The transmission not being synchronized, you don't have to shift down and double clutch, you just lug it along after a corner and it creeps back up to speed. Try that with your modern manual transmission car and see how fast it kills the engine.
