Did you ask him if he had that same problem whenever he has a passenger in his vehicle too? Not saying the added weight wouldn't cause a slight performance decrease, but "totally different", somehow I doubt that. In my RSX I had the entire thing sound deadened with two different types of material, one for road noise and another for sound quality, and didn't feel any noticeable difference in the way it handled. Granted, it was hardly a sports car, but still, I doubt added 40-50 lbs is going to be that big of a difference in acceleration. (In my completely uneducated opinion, of course )
