2900/16.247 = 178.449
So taking out 130lbs of the 2900lbs car, we would have to add 8.449hp to get the same thing without removing the weight. Correct me if I'm wrong.
In terms of seat of the pants feel, it would be equivalent to adding a drop in filter, maybe cai at most in my opinion. I feel the difference removing the spare tire, removing a passenger I can definitely feel.

From a pure power to weight ratio perspective, sure, but that doesn't take into account driving dynamics, which is really the bigger point here. Adding power doesn't make the car stop better, turn better, have better cornering stability, put less stress on the chassis...
