Re: How does the coupe make 20 more horsepower...
I think that's right dude. It's mainly in the ECU: timing, fuel etc. The intake and exhaust could be slightly less restrictive.
As far as I can tell from owning both, there's not much difference in the engines at all. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The coupe's intake is described as "micropolished" in the web info, and the sedan's is not. That may have something to do with it.
The sedan has a single exhaust with twin exhaust tips, and the second tip doesn't open up until about 4,000rpm. The coupe has a dual exhaust system.
The ECU is more aggressively timed (as the coupe requires 91 octane all the time, while the sedan merely recommends it, and can be run on 87 -- not that I would use it).
