Going from 275 hp to 335 hp (+22%) is going to influence performance a lot more than going from ~3435 lbs to ~3335 lbs (-3%)
T4 = 12.13
V6 = 10.25
V8 = 8.28

Lower = better.

That said, there are some benefits where adding lightness adds a fairly decent benefit over just looking at the ratio, especially when considering just where that power comes on, and the driving dynamics one is looking for.
