I enjoy learning about this stuff. Matt's post equating it to a flywheel and such jives with what I've learned too. The heavier flywheel stores more energy or 'keeps the revs up' between shifts. So depending on intended use and application (car wt, gearing, engine setup, etc.) a lighter flywheel could be a gain or a problem. But I digress, we are not talking flywheels.
