with the lightweight aluminum flywheel you get quicker revs and recover a bit more HP. You loose a bit of streetability as your deceleration is reduced (more brake wear), your HP/torque curve is shifted upwards, and something about "flywheel engery" affecting you competiveness in tight road courses.

I think mazda had that problem in their new Lemans car and had to increase the weight of the flywheel.

I've heard the lightweight steel is a good comprimise between streetability and HP/torque gains.
