Past that... Pull starting my yam 40 is a big pain in the ass. I wouldn't recommend pull starting a car engine.
I'm not so much concerned about weight, I drive 80 miles of interstate a day with ~3-4 miles of 'city' driving, which is basically just from my house to interstate. The reason I was thinking about this was to eliminate the constant draw of a battery that can't be charged further, yet the alternator is trying to do so.
