Removing weight doesn't make the motor output more power, although the lighter car will feel as though it's more powerful. Another saying is for each 100lb weight loss there is a .1 second gained in the 1/4 mile. Both of these are loose terms to explain weight loss benefits, but the benefits go beyond that.

Removing weight makes the car peform better in every aspect of performance-braking, acceleration, cornering, slalom speed, gas mileage, and less wear on parts like pads and tires. Rotating unsprung weight is the best weight to save, like that off the brakes and wheels as long as you don't sacrifice other areas.
