I've never driven a car with an aluminum flywheel.
I HAVE heard that it is not a really good idea for a "primarily street driven" car. The aluminum doesn't have the mass to store the energy that is needed to get the car moving from a stop. The solution is to rev the engine higher and slip the clutch more. I'm sure that would get boring, pretty quickly.

IIHO ... Rob makes good sense here
As always ... its all about application
I've done the afw's on a few cars in the past I drove on the steet.
Then again ... when talking about those ...
STREET CARS ... in truth ... they were really weekend warrior type cars that I would sometimes sneek
out on the street
Those cars had steep ratios like 4.56 and they were very light ... like 2200 #'s
or possibly a bit less.
For an every day driver and since our cars are quite heavy ..........
I'd not think I would like an afw.
When talking stick trans application and cars as heavy as ours ............
I'd not want a ratio of less than 373's as like Rob said above .......
You'd have to work a bit more at getting off from a stop

My car hasn't been any harder over the past 3 years to start from a stop. Love mine.
