The reason I "think" Audi uses heavy flywheels is that they don't make
engines with low end torque, and its needed to get off the line. Larger mass =
easier launch from stop.
I would love to lighten my flywheels for quicker response, but for a daily
driver, I'm afraid the stoplight traffic would be worse than the already
marginal situation. Uphill with the AC on is something I usually try to avoid by just
turning the AC off till it gets rolling.
For a fun car- I'd do it in heartbeat.
For a commuter- probably not.
