Aluminum Flywheel

This is what i've read/heard, maybe someone else has heard otherwise.

An aluminum flywheel will lenghten the life of your drivetrain as it doesn't shock the components, or the tires, once the clutch engages like a steel wheel does...

For a mildly modified street car that rarely sees the dragstrip, I'd choose the stored energy of a steel wheel for improved acceleration at lower rpms.
