buy a German car, great handling on all brands
my 87 gt-s has a cog thats low and dead center, handles lovely on my eibachs and gr2's. might get adjustable konis for the front though.

Personally I think coupes handle better because of the momentum throwing the back end around turns.

Not honda rims at all. they are some type of an aftermarket rim made in Australia apparently. Thoes are honda center caps that fit right in.

If anyone knows what rim that is please come forward. I want to get another set just becaue I love them so much.

Yes. therefore its harder to drive but much more rewarding when you can keep it under control

I rather have over steer than under steer. Wouldnt you?

i love my hatch over a coupe or sedan. then again i have a 91 hatch and not a 95 but have driven both before. i find the eg's to be a bit heavy feeling to them other than my hatch. the coupes though for some reason feel like a boat to me. dunno why, but i like hatches better anyways. ---- when i drive my TA i look at my hatch and im like damn! why does my hatch seem faster and more agile around corners, when the TA is like a ------ sports car compared to my hatch and seems slower and has like a shitload of body roll

I've owned and drove both and I feel the coupe has a much better feel in the corners.
