Ron, are you sure about this? I would think that the stored energy in a higher weight flywheel would require
additional braking to slow down. Surely there's a mechanical engineer on here that could answer the simple question:
"If a Cobra is travelling, say 120mph at 5000rpm, does it take more brake force to bring it to a stand still if the flywheel weighs 18lbs or if it weighs 25lbs?" No fair pushing the clutch in during braking.
