Force=Mass.Acceleration
as you have decreased the mass of the fly wheel, by applying the same force you will see a proportional increase in acceleration.
This will applying for all fly wheels, on any sort of car. The opposite will apply for a heavier fly wheel.
However as momentum = Mass.Velocity, the momementum of lightened flywheel at 2000rpm will be far less than the normal flywheel at 2000 rpm. This will mean that the time the lightened flywheel will reach the 2000rpm much faster, however, it will also decellerate much faster as well. Thus making the lightened flywheel harder to laucnh normally eg. from a set of lights or a hill start.
