I dont know much about the fastback and the coupes. But I was thinking about it and the fast back has a realy big peice of glass n the back, where the coupes have sheet metal, so i think that the coupes is a little lighter then the fastback. One the other hand i head that the fastback is more aerodinamic. by the time you would worrie about the drag factor of your car, you might want a worie about the weight.

Your only saying that because you got the ugly "fat lady in a bikini" coupe.
I mean that car has a bigger A$$ than I do! Not to mention the chassis regidity of a bowl of jello thanks to that big flexy glass hatch in the back (ever notice the hatches creak more than the man cars.... I mean the coupe)
It's all up to personal preference, but remember, they never made a 'silvia' hatchback hehe

Rumor has it that the hatch is "stiffer" than the coupe... now do we believe every rumor we hear..no..I don’t think its going to matter which one is more aerodynamic unless you plan to do more than 100+ in racing conditions...so it is all person preferenceI use the S13 hatch in SCCA races and autocrosses, but I have never driven a coupe so I couldn’t tell you from experience. Just telling you what I have heard… good luck finding what you want.

Oh come on, the fastback looks twice as good as that ugly square backed POS coupe. And in the first sentence, you do mean hatchback, not coupe, right?

Coupe's look strange with a rounded 180sx front end with a square back side. but they do look really good the way they were spose to be, that is with the silvia front end. the hatch on the other hand looks good like its JDM borther the 180sx(good looking), and it also looks good with any of the silvia front ends from either the s13, s14, or s15 (sil80). I personly love all of these cars in just about any way you can find them.
