driving through parking lots or stop and go situations it was more finicky trying to find the smooth engagement point where you were revving up and letting out the clutch to go without being abrupt. It just felt like I had to give it more revs. And this was on two separate platforms, a SW20 mr2 turbo, and 2005 evo 8 gsr. For the evo, I opted for one that was middle of the road, it was only slightly lighter than oem and no where near as light as some options available, but even so it was noticeable worse to me.
It makes sense if you think about what a flywheel does, the more mass the more intertia it can store. BUT.... The ST is very torquey especially when you get youself aftermarket tunes, maybe a lighter weight flywheel on this platform can help make first gear more useable when you mod these cars?
