Hey guys is this correct?

370z:
Horsepower---332
Weight (lbs)----------3,232
Power to weight---- 9.73lbs/hp

Reduce 100 pounds:
Weight= 3,132(lbs)/332(hp)= 9.43lbs/hp
In turn: 3,232/9.43 = 342hp (plus 10hp)

Sooooo if spare tire/jack and other stuff you got in the back weighs about 50lbs(according to most) and the passenger seat weighs maybe around 40lbs... You can get almost 10HP just by poppin them out

Lets go a step further:

Reduce 500lbs= 393HP but I think that is stripping the car completely haha.

Plus I am using curb weight not gross weight... Which include passengers/cargo/fluids....
