Looks like my vehicle power to weight ratio is also improving:

2400 / 70 = 34 lbs/hp - '90 honda civic, 0-60 in about 16 seconds
2800 / 275 = 10.2 lbs/hp - '95 RX-7, 0-60 in 4.83 seconds
540 (+ 170) / 90 = 7.9 lbs/hp - '99 Honda Magna, 0-60 in 4.5
seconds
2450 / 320 = 7.6 lbs/hp - '99 Panoz, 0-60 in 4.1 seconds

Why are we sitting around calculating all these silly numbers? We
must be really bored. . .
