When you say track are you talking autocross or drag racing???
I specifically stated drag racing.
Of course any autocross/road racer would use a lighter flywheel.
Also none of you have told me EXACTLY WHY you think what I stated is incorrect.
Heavier weight = more stored inertia (kinetic energy) = easier/faster acceleration from a DEAD stop. This is the ONLY point I state a heavier flywheel has an advantage (I seem to remember stating that at least 3 or 4 times now)
Stazi - In your last post you even agree with me;
"It may be okay to use a heavy flywheel for drag racing, but that is ONLY if you can launch by revving and holding the engine to a fixed rpm (usually with the use of a stutterbox) and then just feathering out the clutch. This is not nice for the clutch, and who has a stutterbox on a Contour?"
If you agree WTF is all this argueing about???
I don't ever recall saying a heavier flywheel was always better then a lighter one. I don't ever recall not endorsing or wanting a lighter flywheel.
I gave an accurate comparison of a lighter vs a heavier flywheel and people just see the "ONLY" time I said a heavier flywheel was better and some how correlate that to me stating heavier is ALWAYS better...
Sheesh people. READ all the posts in the thread before you jump off all half cocked...
