And for what it's worth, I could smoke my buddies pop-up headlight Integra and hit 120 on the highway. (redlined 6500rpm in fourth, figured it did 19mph per 1000rpm, was a bit slower in fifth, whatever the revs were.) Handling was OK compared to a first gen Integra but not quite as good. Swapped the Bridgestones for Yokohama AVS and learned to turn in slowly and let the tires just grip after it leaned.

As far as being light, I remember my friends picking up the car and turning it sideways in two spots at the mall so my bumpers were up against the doors of the cars beside it. I had to go back and forth 100 times to get out without hitting the cars beside me.
ALSO, supposedly it had the WORST crash statistics for any car in it's class. That would mean if you crashed into a Civic, Corolla, Excel, 323 or Golf, you're toast. I probably saw that stat on the evening news back then.

From what I recall of the Spectrum Turbo stats when I got mine,
1.5L 4 cylinder, 8 valve, fuel injected, turbocharged motor, 5-speed, FWD.
14" rims with 185/60HR14 Bridgestone Potenza RE88 tires.
rated at 110HP and 120 ft/lbs of torque.
Isuzu sold a Turbo I-Mark as well as a 16V 1.6 liter, I THINK it made 125hp, not sure on torque but I bet it was lower than the Turbo.
Curb weight was stated to be around 2000lbs for the four door, which is why it took off so well.

@pizzamyfart Don't know about GM USA, but GM Holden have done a few very cool ads over the years. Look up "Holden Evolution."

I think yours would be heavier,engine weight because i had the sohc single carb motor,but most come less than 2 to 3000 pounds,now im a big guy i lifted the back on my own these are fucking light for such a small four door,you cant find anything lighter than this,besides the old metros but try it out,i bet you you can lifted from an inch from the back thou.
