Assuming the above weight is sans driver, that means that the car + me now would weight 2.6% less than when I started, and when I'm completely done will weigh 3.3% less.

Any way to calculate what a difference that might make in 0 - 60 or other such performance measurements?
Practically speaking you can guess ~100lbs = ~0.1 at the strip but thats hardly exact.
