Default Lighest DSM?

I have about $1500 to work with here, and have found many local DSM's for really cheap and no engines/trannys, which I can get pretty cheap. What is the lightest DSM ever made? I've heard it was a 92ish Laser, but I'm not quite sure. I want to modify a lighter car, so I'm already a step ahead in the game. I found a laser in perfect condition with a locked up motor for $300, this is why I want to know. I can't pass up this deal, anyone that can help me, please do!

Are they seriously that heavy? They must be a real big bitch on gas..

The local dealership has 3 DSM's in perfect condition for $300, and I mean perfect... I wish they did the same with Honda's

Buy a 89-92 dodge colt,eagle summit,mitsubishi mirage.You can drop a 4g63t into them and they weigh very little.My 92 dodge colt with full interior and half tank of gas weighed 2160.You can find these cars for dirt cheap I picked up mine for $300.

Just import a Peugeot 205, weighs next to nothing; about 1900 lbs stock. Got my 1.4 8v down to 1675, without interior, with turbo setup.
