I wouldn't call that substantial. That power to weight ratio is very close so it would be a close call.

Substantial is a subjective measure, I suppose. But that difference on a 220hp car is the equivalent to 66 pounds of weight off the car.
Or, on another chart, showing models with 100lbs and 200lbs removed and their corresponding rank in the list, 200lbs off puts it half way between the S2K and RX7.

... Ugh, I'm not trying to overly "nubmers"-specific. Let's just say that anything comparable to S2K numbers would impress a lot of people
