A 330hp car weighing 3000lbs is the same power to weight as a 363hp car that weighs 3300. Beyond that the lighter car has to be going faster to generate the same kind of forces on the tire at the limit. You get a car that's faster through corners and faster down the straight; any weight down is worth it.
