Default Audi questions

Ok i noticed when test driving several Audi's that it feels like the fly wheel weighs in the 30lb range and the revs fall slow. Its especially noticable first to second,coupled with a relatively high friction point its a lot diffrent then my MR2 or my BMW. I find i shift ahead of the car. Like i push clutch in,shift into the gear i'm ready for and then have to wait a second or so for the 1st to 2nd shift and a half second or so for the 2-3 shift to let the revs drop down to where they should be for the next gear,then let clutch out.3-4 and 4-5 It feels like the perfect flywheel weight for a smooth shift as it holds the revs up with the fly wheel weight for a second so i don't have 2 shift as faster then i normaly would 1-2 and 2-3 before the revs fall. It's a very smooth car once use to having to take into avount the flywheel effect but for normal drivin the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts are much slower then my BMW was in terms of the revs falling off into the speed apropriate for the next gear. So what does the stock flywheel weigh and wat is the ideal flywheel weight for smooth city driving without that heavy flywheel effect?

Its not 30 pounds. Just short shift 1st gear and then youll hit second at the right time. My car does the same thing and i think the car is actually faster if i short shift first.
