But makes up the weight with reinforcements.

2 neons exact same setup, 1 coupe and 1 sedan will have about a 20-30 pound weight difference.

but you also have to remember that the 2-door doors are longer...and the 2-door cars therefor have more metel on the shell.....all to makes up where the rear doors would be

Overall length on the sedan is 171.8" and the overall length on the coupe is 171.8"....so they are the same length.
