You hit the nail on the head Tom,
I think a heavier car like an SVX really needs a flywheel with some heft. Low inertia makes starting from a standstill a bi*ch with a heavy car. Makes the day-to-day stop and go traffic very unpleasant.
On Jack's Impreza with the EG33, a lightweight WRX chromoly 5-speed flywheel works fine. But that car weighs +/- 2800 lbs and has 4.11 gears. And you seldom do standing starts while road racing.
