I don't know about flywheels continuing to accelerate after fuel cutoff but I do know that a car will accelerate through wet grass. Einstein studied this and found that the acceleration was so great that in twins where one stayed on the track and the other went in the grass, the off track twin would be nearly 80 years younger when he finally came to rest.

Three Wheelin'
I over-revved an engine once. I did notice feeling somewhat older afterward, and was poorer as well. The car did not have an aluminum flywheel, though, so perhaps that is a topic for a different thread!
