the hatchback becomes a sil-80
the coupe becomes a silvia

besides the coupe being lighter and not having a hatch, there are no performance differences

i think the central balance of the weight is different too.

I think the fastback is damn close to 50/50 but the coupe is like 60/40??

I could be wrong. Which is why the fastback is preffered for drifting.

Coupe = 2699lbs
Fastback = 2730lbs

There's only a 30lb difference... I wouldn't worry about it... If I were buying a 240sx, I would go by which one you think looks better... you won't notice any perfomance difference in either stock.

For SE models add about 35lbs more to that due to A/C and power options/sunroof.

The coupe is lighter. The Fastback has more cargo room and has a weight distribution closer to 50/50.
