What is the magical ibs/hp number?

What is the magical lbs/hp number?

For simplicity reasons...lets say that spending a $100 can get you either 100 lbs off your car OR add 100hp to it.

This gives us the equation: $ = H = I or numerically: $1 = 1hp = 1lb.

I think most of us would choose the 100 hp in that scenario.

My question is at what starting value of L would it be make more sense to choose the weight saving instead of the hp?

For example, if the equation instead was the following: $ = H = 100*L
then most of us would opt for the weight savings instead of the power.

So, starting at what value of L would that start happening?

Thanks
