If you are comparing a 2 door with a 4 door with the same options, then the 4 door is actually lighter, not the coupe.

Something to do with the doors on the coupe and the way it's designed. But it's only like a 20 lb difference either way.

I don't know that it has ever been confirmed, but it is an ongoing debate. Some say the coupe, some say the sedan.

Both cars are 95, but one is auto and the other is manual, right?

wow I didnt know that!!!
thats wierd I always thought that my car would be lighter than a four door.
either way I still like the look of a two door better, just my preference.

I like the sedan better...LOL!!!

If I was to get an all out race car, I'd probably go with the coupe though.
