Why is the Coupe so heavy?

The coupe is over 3400 lbs, about 40 lbs over the sedan.

Do you think they beefed up the structure in case they were going to make a convertible? I just hope the '05 model is lighter than the current one!

It weighs more than the sedan because it needs stronger steel to carry around the huge EGOs.

Yes, I drive a coupe. Currently I do not have the ego required to drive such a car, however I'm doing what I can to get one. hehe.

Is that why my suspension snapped, my tires came flying off and I was left sitting still in a car with no wheels...And here I was thinking I needed to lose a few lbs...God damn ego!
