Oh yeah, go buy a base model if you care so much about the weight. It is nearly 100lbs lighter than the sport

You are just using the logic of one item though.
Power/weight is great from FI, but wheel/tire (and flywheel I guess) gives you less weight, which leads to better power
and more grip, better balance, etc.
Yes, this thread is originally about power to weight, but you also have to calculate into other factors when balancing a car the moment you throw a monetary value onto what you are getting.
