Let me meet you and the car and I will buy you the lightened flywheel.

I'll even let one of the established members on here hold the money in escrow.

It will make the engine rev faster when not under load, so if you heel and toe and rev-match on the way down the gearbox you may notice a difference, but under load, I.e, when acceleration, it’ll be unnoticeable.
Spend the money on something that’ll make a bigger difference, lighter wheels, better bushes, better tyres, better brakes etc.

Or an actual car. . .

That custard test is so easy to do.

Just drill holes in the old flywheel.

A few on either side should do the trick.
