We saw some coupe on here take down a Supra, so it all depends on that age old question of how much you throw into your ride. _____________________________ Always one ear to reality and one to the music.

RE: Civic hatch or coupe - 4/9/2005 7:26:31 PM    sacicons Posts: 7675 Joined: 6/26/2004 Status: offline tsk tsk tsk. but anyway, a coupe has a longer wheelbase than a hatch, which is better for traction in a straight line. and a dx coupe weighs considerably less than an SI hatch. although the other hatches weigh less than any of the coupes. 5th gen specific, though its about the same through the other gens too. _____________________________ Yes, there's a "Replacement for Displacement".
