The only time it does anything useful is when the car is stationary and you're slipping the clutch to get the car moving; in this situation the stored energy in the flywheel helps shove the car along. Once the clutch is fully engaged, the flywheel is just along for the ride. After this point though, the engine has to accelerate the mass of the flywheel as well as the mass of the car, and in lower gears this can have a significant (negative) impact on acceleration. So a lightened flywheel is a tradeoff; better acceleration, but the car becomes more difficult to drive. [Report message to a moderator]
