Re: Calling All Accord Coupe Owners.... (sven)

Slightly, yes. 50 lbs or so.
Chicken SOup your best bet is to probably just browse page-by-page looking for posts with the little camera icon after the title.

Re: Calling All Accord Coupe Owners.... (sven)

yes but a car with 2 doors still has less overall door length...look at the big gap between the back door and the rear fender well...about a foot or more of space...and then look at the 4 door...about 3 inches or so...which means less doors...less weight!

According to kbb.com, the EX V6 sedan weighs 3329 lbs., and the EX V6 coupe weighs 3283 lbs., so the coupe is lighter by only 46 lbs. if kbb is accurate.

Re: Calling All Accord Coupe Owners.... (nickh2k1)

ya, and they also have higher insurance prices (at least for me) because the bastards at the insurance agency consider it a 'sport' coupe.

Re: Calling All Accord Coupe Owners.... (nickh2k1)

i know this might sound dumb but i'm wondering if theres a way to reduce weight by replacing the bottom with lightweight plate sheets, someone told me this and they said it would reduce weight up to 500lbs, although i didnt think that this was true...
