I love how people "think" that by adding more power is going to disrupt the handling capabilities of the car. Or, just make it less fun. That's flat out wrong. The chassis was designed for handling from the get go, and that's what matters most. Adding power here is icing on the cake. Powering out of turns, getting up to ideal track speeds faster/sooner on straights, all pluses.

supercharger 50lbs all equip (est)
coilovers lowers COG which would make the COG lower than anything out there.... (better handling)
titanium exhaust, lightweight pulleys, lightweight flywheel, new clutch stainless steel headers, forged wheels, would counteract the supercharger addition and (free up the un-sprung weight )
all things i would end up doing the first 5 years ill have my car, alot of us will also be doing the same
300 whp with a supercharger, intake, headers, exhuast puts it at about <9 lbs/ hp thats better than a 5.0 mustang
