And see, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I keep hearing that rotational mass will act more like static mass at highway speeds, but I think that is an incomplete statement. Isn't it more accurate to say that rotational mass will act more like static mass when the velocity stays constant? What about highway speeds through winding roads or up an incline (i.e., when the velocity is changing)? I'm not convinced that rotational mass would continue to have the same effect as static weight in those cases.
