Anyone else notice how the atx sedan compares (mag stats, which I know don't always tell the whole story) vs. the mtx coupe? For example, an atx sedan weighs less, has better f/r weight distribution and almost stops as well (and almost accelerates as well too) with 260hp. If they put the 280/270/6sp/brembos/18" wheels on the sedan it would IMHO outperform the coupe...given the current stats. Any comments?

Well, half a second to 60 is a lot.
52/48 instead of 53/47 is not noticeable in tests or driving.
The brembros stop a little bit better, but where you'll notice them are in brake fading, they simply won't fade for a long time.
The weight difference is there because of the things like the extra horsepower and the bigger wheels, and the weight difference is minimal. However, the coupe outshines the sedan the most with it's handling, even besting a Z in most tests.
But really, they are both great cars, the coupe just being a bit more of a sports car (in reality it's hardly noticeable)
