I don't know how much HP is lost for each 100 Ibs but I do know for 100 Ibs you add roughly equals a tenth of second off your quarter mile time.

You don't *lose* HP making it heavier. A 3000GT VR4 doesn't *lose* its 320hp just because it weighs 4000lbs. You can gain as much weight as you want, and you'll still be at a stagnant 200hp.
