I wonder how light they'll actually seem in regards to drivability. People go from a stock flywheel (17lbs?) to one under 10 and are fine with it. I'm sure due to differences in inertia, center of mass, and other stuff I don't really understand it's not a direct comparison, but the question remains the same: How much will shaving 5 lbs off the engine's rotating mass affect drivability?
