Oh no, it definitely isn't bad. In fact 15 is pretty solid. The weight is well backed up by the increased power. However, remember I am an engineering student, and spending 4+ years studying the subject gives you a wierd view of products. For cars, I believe lighter is always better. If you were to present me with two cars with the same acceleration/top speed; one lighter with a smaller engine the other larger with a larger engine I will always pick the lighter one. Less weight = less tire wear, less break wear, better mileage, and just less wear and tear in general.
That's why the dream sports car I have my eye on only weighs in at 1080lbs without the drivetrain
