Part of the reason the coupes weigh more than the sedan is the huge freakin doors on the coupes!

just because it feels like it, it's not neccessarily so. If the suspension doesn't match the power then of course you will recieve this result. This more than likely means that the coupe has it's suspension better setup for the power.

I don't think it is wise to have tires taken off and remounted the other way (inside out, i'm assuming) the factory tires are of the a-symmetrical variety...they have inside/outside labels on the sidewall... directional tires maybe....

You'd like to believe this is true.

?????, wake up!

u can but the coupe already has on understeer problem so it will only make t worse.. plus lose traction in your rears which would result in faster balding tiress.. i think i got that right.. im pretty tired haha

It is true. The coupe (every year) has a harder suspension than the sedan. The sedan squats (yes I know its IRS, but it still does have some degree of "squat" to it) more so than the coupe, giving you the feeling of being pushed back in your seat further and harder. This has been discussed about 400 times in the passed 3-4 years on this board. The sedan loaners aren't faster, theyre just looser... hence why we beat on them like 3 dollar hookers
