So, regardless then, it sounds like there isn't a particular formula that estimates a performance gain by shedding weight, whether its the car's spare tire, or mine it sounds like.
I remember on another car forum someone said to get the pounds/hp (2762lb/200hp which rounds up to 14lbs per hp) and that gives you roughly the number of pounds to give the car of feeling of having 1 extra HP. Not sure how strongly I believe in this but just throwing it out there.
