If you want FE/RWD, I'd go for the Miata. Early ones weigh about 2100lbs. Not a lot of room to work with, but it's doable. Not very aerodynamic, though.
Notchback Fieros start at about 2400lbs. GTs(Fastbacks) are ~2700lbs. You'd have room under the hood and in the engine bay for batteries. Parts are getting hard to come by.
MX3's are ~2400lbs for the 4 cylinder and a good 2500lbs for the V6. The earliest/lightest CRXs are a touch over 1500lbs, lighter than even a Geo Metro. The later version of the Metro hatch like I used starts around 1800lbs, the engine in which weighs about 120lbs.
No idea about the others.
Weight will affect acceleration. Or determine just how big of a motor you will need for the same level of performance.
