For acceleration and general performance, yeah, power/weight rules.
But light weight is almost always a lot more fun and engaging to drive under 99th %ile real-world street usage. For some of us, anyway... For others, Mustangs, Genesis Coupes, etc. beckon...

I disagree. How agile and responsive a car is related to power-to-weight ratio significantly. So in your argument which a lighter car would be more fun and engaging, do you think FR-S/BRZ would handle better or respond more quickly than a Lamborghini or Ferrari just because it's lighter? A more powerful engine will certainly be heavier but it can also carry more weight, hence the theory of power-to-weight ratio. I must say it's kinda simple physics ideal.
