I agree on the handling aspect but for acceleration sake, even if we think of the wheels as flywheel, the vast majority of resistance is from the mass of the car itself and the load it creates when the wheel tries to move it.

If the wheel was just spinning in the air, that would be one thing, but it's sandwiched between the earth and a 2700lb car.
