Default Weight reduction questions.... SOTP gain???

Assume my car loses 300lbs, and each 100lbs is worth .10 in the 1/4. Now, say to gain the same .3 in the 1/4, I would need ~30-40 add'l HP. Is there a SOTP gain with weight reduction, just the same as if I had added 30-40HP? Is it as noticable? TIA, Shawn

Drive around with a couple of passengers and then drive without them. That will show you how much difference it makes. Id think 300 pounds of reduction would be noticeable.
