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.
