[s-cars] Benefits of a Lightweight Flywheel

[Hap Maguire]

Hey Tony

To tell you the truth I've never felt a difference in clutch feel with a lightweight flywheel. I did notice that they were a little noisier than a stock FW. This seemed most evident in neutral with the clutch released and the car idling. I never noticed any driving differences that were at all negative like the supposed drivability issues.
