The only way this would help your car is if it allows you to maintain a very low idle (~500rpm). Otherwise you're wasting more power in the city. You need more fuel to put the same power to the ground, and on every shift, you have to wait for that flywheel to spin down before letting out the clutch (unless you want a jerky ride).
