counting pounds is fine if you're broke and dont mind your car turning into a complete beater.. all the fastest track mr2's have not been the lightest.
That is plainly ridiculous. The example you mentioned, Lotus, will drive circles around pretty much anything near its power. Sure something with tons more power can pass it- and really, my biggest gripe with the car besides the extra weight they've added is that it is so down on power. 190hp is not near enough for a 2000lb car.
