When you are working on weight reduction of rotational and non-rotational parts and not just on power, then it depends also with what you compare it. The acceleration comparison I did last time it was based with a '13 year UK car which is around 1230kg (2712 lbs). The latest cars and especially in US are known to be much heavier pretty close to 1280-1290 kg (2822-2844 lbs). It depends also the trim level. If you do a simple math equation, then you'll find that weight to power ratio gives an equivalent from 240hp to 251hp if you compare it to the heavier car. I said feels like 250-260hp, because we cannot even agree if the first cars had an actual 200hp or a 190hp power figure.
Do your research better next time.
