2800lb / 201 hp = 13.9 lb/hp.
2700lb / 201 hp = 13.4 lb/hp
2600lb / 201 hp = 12.9 lb/hp
* Boxster S - lets say 2850lbs / 252hp = 11.3 lb/hp
* 2.7 non s - 2800/217 = 12.9 lb/hp
Thus, loosing 100lbs is like gaining 7.4 hp. Yes, you should notice this, but.. how exactly are you expecting to see the benefit? Fuel Mileage? Cornering? Acceleration? I imagine that unless you are in "ideal situations" you might never notice the difference.
I know others have a list of ways to save weight.. but even saving weight can get expensive...
Seats an easy way to loose weight.. your seats likely weigh 50lbs each. Lightweight race seats are about 20lb each (save 60-70lbs)
Mufflers - could save 30lbs here
Wheels and tires - could save 10lb/corner = 40 lbs
Remove all unnecesary trim pieces/radio/speaker
Lightweight battery -10-15lbs?
Spare and toolkit - 20lbs?
