If the benefits of the lightened flywheel are so obvious
then why doesn't Ford manufacture these cars right that
way ? 0-60 time is something people consider when shopping
for sporty sedans.

With a lighter flywheel the car has better acceleration,
no doubt about it.
What is the downside ? Worse idle, increased vibration,
overall shorter engine life. Of course this is true for
the majority of performance mods and most people around
here interested in better acceleration only, and happy to
pay its price.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

That's all I want to say to you as I can tell that your are too ignorant to listen to reason.

All the American OEM's will use the CHEAPEST component they can find.

Hence why on the Contour they carried over the 2" center resonator from the non-SVT line onto the SVT EVEN THOUGHT THE SVT HAS A FUGGEN 2.25" exhaust!

The SVT DOES have a lightened flywheel, but they didn't want the car too twichy for the predominantly ATX driving American public.

Lightened flywheels will not decrease engine life, so please don't subscribe to that and other home-brewed BS.
