How is the light flywheel, how much does it weigh? I've never driven a car with a light flywheel, some say it makes it way easier to bog the car and it makes it more difficult to launch. But on the flipside the car revs much faster correct? I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons.

The STI flywheel is around 14lbs. This is a nice medium and still retains good drivability while allowing the motor to rev more quickly for nicer downshifts and easier rev matching. Technically any lighter flywheel will make it harder to launch and may require a little more clutch slip from a stop, but you really only start to notice this when you go significantly lighter.

Thanks
