You hit the nail on the head there, it is the power to weight ratio you need to look at, as long as you get that power down.

My pug 205 is around 1000kg and with 469bhp and 500lbft it is quicker than all of my mates supercars and some of his are 600bhp, they are just Lardy BUT on a track they would probably murder me as they have 2010 onwards suspension plus much wider tyres and stiffer chassis. Mine also feels much faster as I don't have 2010 on nvh technology....he is too scared to go in my pug but is not scared of the mac p1 or f1.

Btw, the macs would beat my car
