lol, one last crack at it and then let them believe what they want to.
Less rotating mass = less inertia to move it (in this case spin it up or slow it down). Your engine's rotating mass is a parasitic drag on the motor, stored energy does nothing for you in terms of car acceleration*, the less rotating mass the less parasitic drain on the motor.
*unless you can rev it up and dump the clutch like in a 1/4 mile launch.
