Apparently someone forgot to tell this to some folks who work at a small company in a place called Dearborn Michigan! Terminator Cobras came stock with aluminum flywheels. <br /><br />This topic always stirs debate and will continue to do so. People act like an aluminum wheel weighs nothing and is impossible to launch. Ummmm, try driving a Tilton triple disc setup on the street. Yes, that is a difficult package to manage from a low speed standing start. But the average street oriented aluminum wheel makes the car respond quicker and accelerate quicker. For me, an aluminum flywheel is the only wheel I will have in any of my cars. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
