I couldn't find the info on the newer plastic engines I was hearing about, but found this:
Plastic engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

300+ HP revving up to 14,000 RPM! Pretty cool for old technology.

That would be pretty neat. I wonder how long it can survive everything.

Hey, if they can make gun barrels out of polymers and plastics that can stand up to those explosions...anything is possible!

RCZ- Excellent explanation of the flywheel.

I actually have a phone call in to the Nissan engineers right now to get a solid, definitive answer regarding the SRM system. His initial thoughts were the same as mine and that the minor adjustment in weight would only be beneificial to the drivetrain and wouldn't hurt anything. However, the 370Z was apparently a 100% Japan project and no one from Tennessee was involved so he's going to have to check with his counterparts in Japan for confirmation.
