Red and Hybrid know whats going on. Lightweight flywheels are good. It is true that you need some mass there in order to keep the motor idling, but whats all this low end torque stuff? Must be one of those old hot-rodder myths like "backpressure makes torque"
Anyway, I had a 7.5lb flywheel on my Honda and it was really nice. Revved a little faster and picked up in first and second gear better. And from low revs, the motor would pick up faster (3000-3500RPM) You gotta shift fast all the time is the one real drawback. If you are not paying attention its easy to buck the car like an amateur clutch monkey.
If your goal is to go fast weight is one of the enemy.
