Every 1 lbs of rotational weight equals 9 - 10 lbs of static weight.
So 19x10.5 rotary forged rear wheels
Savings of 14 lbs of rotational weight, and seem like taking 140 lbs of static weight off the car.
Same with brakes, lighter rotors, aluminum driveshaft.
The extremely massive flywheel in our 6 spd. Is what kills our manuals.
Why manuals normally have more power at wheels that a auto, but the huge flywheel evens out to a auto in ours.
