What modern stock platforms are lighter than a CRX?

I know a stock CRX (particularly the HF) is ridiculously lightweight, but just out of curiousity: are there any cars produced in the last 15 years (1990-2005) that are lighter in stock form than the CRX? Any make or model is fair game; even the really obscure stuff.

Geo Metro? Not quite sure how heavy they are but id think they're pretty light.

Just looked on autotrader.com real quick and looked under a '90 geo metro 2 door hatch and curb weight says 1693 pounds...pretty damn light if your askin me...granted that only comes with the 1 liter 3 cylinder 55hp beast, lol.

yeah, the geo metro and suzuki swift are a few hundred pounds lighter.

But definitely not as cool, haha.

I thought the metro might be lighter. It'd be an interesting platform for a swap (from another make, of course). A fast Geo=the ultimate sleeper :evillol: .

FORD Fiesta, lol i dunno, maybe a mt 323, or a honda 600?

there a car for got who makes it but its call a aspen

i know the 8v Golf is close to crx weight at 2269lbs...the old skool rabbits are like 1900lbs close to crx hf weight. but this car is older than 15 years but thought id mention it since its a small hatch that you can swap newer engine into with not too much work

i know the 8v Golf is close to crx weight at 2269lbs...

nice - my DX sedan is still lighter at 2265 :smokin:

And my std. hatch is still lighter then that, when i take my system out it only weighs 2080lbs, with system in it ways around 2140

What about a yugo?

Geo Metro + Geo Storm/Isuzu Impulse 1.8L DOHC 140hp engine = rape most civics ass

Geo Metro + Geo Storm/Isuzu Impulse 1.8L DOHC 140hp engine = rape most civics ass

He deserves some flaming for that comment!

flame me? why not flame you when your civic gets beat by a geo metro :evillol:

those engines are made by Isuzu, which is in partnership with lotus on certain parts. there is also a 1.6L DOHC similar to the honda ZC, only it has a dual plane intake manifold much like an integra GSR.. it makes 130hp and revs to 7800 rpm :D

compare my earlier post to an 88 CRX HF, stripped bare with a B18B.. now tell me THAT wouldn't own..

I don't know what it had in it but there was a Ford Festiva on Car and Driver one weekend and it beat the hell out of a lambo. It is in a Super Street that I have but I can't remember which one. It is blue with a Shogun body kit and the caption says "Who gave the festiva stereroids" It didn't sound like a V8 either but there was no article on it just a pic in a show section.

i've seen a ford festiva with a taurus SHO engine in it

ford made X amount of festivas with the taurus SHO engine in them with that shogun body. i think somewhere around 20, they made them to show off how powerful the SHO engine was.
