    Coupes look A LOT better IMO, and you see fewer of them.

    hatchbacks all the way dude. The power to weight ratio plays an important role in developing a fast car. The smaller the better.

    wtf? Have you drifted both??

    I have. Coupes are lighter and more rigid. IMO they look better too. But im biased towards coupes in most every model of car.

    What really matters, is which one you think looks the best. Both can look great. Its all about personal opinion and taste.

    Weld your diffy and you'll learn to drift anything(rwd, of course). Whether you like it or not. And after you've hit enough ditches on wet mountain roads that one time this spring; hatch or coupe won't matter... getting the dents out will...

    So, especially if you intend on drifting, keep what you have. You can get used to it... so go get some zip-ties and duct tape and have fun.

    Do you have any sort of non-stock suspension?
