Default weight and platform comparison del sol and hatch(searched alot)

so im just wondering namely the weight of both cars stock and what the cons and pros would be to both cars. if you dont feel like contributing to an intelligent conversation just the weight of the 92-95 hatch (vx) would be nice. thanks

I have found AutoTrader's site a useful resource for comparing cars... del Sols might weigh more...but are infinately cooler

Del slo's have serious understeer issues out of the box.

Not to mention they're a girl car.

Understeer is when you turn the car and it just keeps sliding straight. Typically associated with front wheel drive cars. Oversteer is the total opposite thats when the *** end comes out like drifting.
