A coda:
A 2018 911 GT2RS weighs 3241 lbs, and has 700 hp. That’s 4.63 lb/hp. For a 2000 lb speedster to be similarly “overpowered”, it would need to make 431 hp.
In more pedestrian times, the magic number for “balance” was 10 lb/hp (or more than twice the weight/hp). That’s 200 hp in a 2000 lb car, which seems just about right to me.
Your mileage may vary.
