Exactly
I'm not buying this loss of torq ,stuff . No matter what kind of car it is its still a 4 stroke motor .
The less resistance the motor has to turn the more power it will make everywere .
I've read enitre arcticals writen by complete jackass's that don't know a wrench from a screw driver , but know some stupid equation , That does'nt work out in the real world .
The lighter is not always better thearoy is For drag racing , The lighter the flywheel the less inertia the motor has to force the car of the line , In which does''nt apply to to most fwd car becasue we all get wheelspin way to easyily .
I'm familar with heel-to-toe shifting , but don't bother cause it has no purpose in my car , I practice never taking my foot of the gas shifting ,which soemtiems leads big tire spin in 2nd and 3rd .
I would'nt go any ligther than 8 or 9 on the street becasue the car would beto easy to stall .
If u would like to argue more with me , Instant message Me sometime on aim .
