Why no 7-8lb light flywheels?

I understand there are reasons for a flywheel being too light (like 4lb race models) making it hard to modulate at low speeds but I don't see why 7lb would be an issue

I personally would hate a 7lb flywheel on this car. Too much chatter as is, engagement and shifting is tricky enough as is also. Not to mention a 15lb flywheel is already HALF of what our OEM ones are. Anything lighter is excessive and not a justifiable tradeoff if on a DD. Just my .02
