I'm not concerned with a few tenths for a daily car, but I was curious.

I also think that 200 lbs in the same car won't make a difference. I actually tested this at a track, when I gutted my whole trunk. I had maddd crap there, and took it all out, including the spare, all the mats and anything I can take off possible. Also took out the rugs inside. My 1/4 mile didn't change by even .1 ... therefore I don't think the weight difference in sedan and coupe matter (much)

heres another comparison from motortrend:
2003 coupe 6MT: 5.83 14.23 @ 99.4
2003 sedan 6MT: 5.78 14.28 @ 100.3
pretty much the same
