Default Lightened Flywheel Tech. Question...

Ok, here is the deal. I am a little confused and I really want to understand this... And I know this isn't exactly the right place to ask, but the tech forum didn't even respond.

If a lightened flywheel doesn't substantially change how fast a car physically accelerates (I know it does to some degree but mostly its the feeling of accelerating faster that people talk about) but it does make the RPMs increase faster, how doesn't it make a vehicle's 0-60 or 1/4 mile times noticeably better?

I say this because at redline (or at any RPM rate for that matter) in 2nd gear a H22 with a stock flywheel and a H22 with an 8lb. flywheel are both going the same speed. So if the H22 with an 8lb. flywheel gets to redline considerably faster then the H22 with the stock flywheel, how isn't it accelerating considerably faster also?

Be nice to me. lol.
