That's one way to look at it. The other would be weight/power ratio, which GM could improve by upping the power instead of reducing weight. Or some combination of the 2. I say that because it may be easier to increase power rather than reduce weight (at least in the V8).

In my opinion, the concern about weight in regards to handling was answered by Pedders in their big post here:
