> [@theblue](#): > > old 2.5rs has less power and weights more than a VW rabbit which you can get new for 15K. :gotme: What? I really have no idea what point you’re trying to make. Oh, and the VW Rabbit (the new one…which I assume is what you’re talking about?) is +200lbs curb weight and -15 horse (with an additional cylinder, too) so I really, really have no idea what your point is. I was merely stating that the GC8 is a ‘modern’ AWD platform which is lighter than the Evo. This is a stupid thing to keep arguing about. ---

4 door neon is lighter than a 2 door neon. Just one example off the top of my head, if I did research (cared too) I’m sure I could find more examples. I still have yet to hear one reason why a 2 door is better than a 4 door. Unless you like the “check me out, i have 2 doors, a wing, and shaved door handles, respect me” mentality, it shouldn’t matter if you have a mini-van. If you are running 12’s or faster, its respectable. If an evo came in a 2 door version, would it be faster, probably not. Would it be harder to get people into the back seat, yes. Would it look cooler, probably not, would it be harder to load your slicks in the car, yes. ---

I actually like taking the evo to Wegmans better then the talon. Its a lot easier to load up. ---

I’ve said it before, for a daily driver coupes are for ricers as they are completely a cosmetic mod and serve no functional purpose (other than hatchback variants). ---

The majority of the people on here will disagree with your asinine statement. I didn’t buy my car for the # of “doors”, I bought it because its something I can drive around in all year long and still have fun. I’ll be honest, the number of doors never crossed my mind when purchasing my car. Carry on. ---

Many four-doors are lighter. 4 doors mean an integral B pillar smack in the center of the chassis, where as a two door may need additional bracing, plus the doors and hinges are heavier. In the 60’s, the real :snky: guys would get 4-door Impalas and 409’s for sleepers. Four doors make plenty of sense IMO :gotme: And that Evo is evil as hell. Keep it up Emery :tup: ---

This is a stupid thing to keep arguing about. 2.5RS = 165 hp, 166tq 2825 lbs rabbit = 170hp, 177tq. 2975 lbs but you’re right, there’s no point in this - I just don’t consider a 2.5 cutting edge anything at this point and wanted to show that the cheapest VW today is a better car. ---
