Coupes or Fastbacks?...very contraversial, may have been covered - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

CoasTek240 · 11-14-2003, 07:52 AM

Ok, this may have been covered b4, but i wanna see everyones opinion.
i dont want to see which car is better, cuz everyone knows coupes are the ish!
but what i want to see is everyones opinion on which car they like better.

**mrmephistopheles** · 11-14-2003, 08:04 AM

polls belong in polls section.

i like both.

Warwick5s · 11-14-2003, 12:04 PM

if the 240 didn't come in a fastback, i couldn't own one.

being a great car is priority #2 for me. #1 is being able to haul all of my bass equipment with it - including my upright bass.

*sykikchimp* · 11-14-2003, 12:57 PM

fastback just has more classic lines.. almost jaguar esque. The shape is what originally got me into 240z's.

ONYX S-13 · 11-14-2003, 05:45 PM

I like fastbacks as far as looks go, i just hate the visibility out of 'em over a coupe....I can't decide on this poll....

omen2853 · 11-16-2003, 11:07 PM

i like the lines of the hatchback better. while i like the fronts of the silvia with the right front bumper,i cant stand the trunk.

zero.counter · 11-27-2003, 05:41 PM

I am split. The hatch looks good with the 180sx styled tails while the coupe looks good with the front conversion. I have the coupe but am looking into buying the hatch version as well.

AadosX · 12-30-2003, 12:41 PM

I say coupe because I literally see at least 5 fastbacks a day and maybe 1 coupe a week.

IMO, the coupe is more of a modern hatch look, the old Z's are amazingly beautiful, especially for their age, and the 240SX hatch is nothing like them.

Ghettokracker71 · 12-31-2003, 08:20 PM

I have certain addictions when it comes to cars...

Hatchback(or fastback) is one of the biggest ones ! I absolutely LOVE the way the fastback S13 looks........to me its pointless to buy an S13 w/o getting the Fastback ! I've got a big ass infinity sub,stiffening cap,and bazooka amp and I still can carry most of my stuff too........although I do miss folding down the backseat w/my girlfreind...

......the things I must sacrifice for a nice stereo!

I love the hatchback,extremely passionate about it !

I think that coupes don't look right...too long of a night for the designers and too little coffee man,I don't think that thing looks right,to me its pointless to get an S13 w/o getting the FB

I don't want to offend anybody that owns a coupe,thats just my opinion.

ruudbwoy · 01-22-2004, 11:27 PM

definitely the coupe

werm · 01-24-2004, 11:18 AM

fastback all the way. The coupes don't look that bad though, just not my style. I'm sure people can say the opposite.

Levi@GTPRO · 01-24-2004, 11:20 AM

Coupe All The Way!!!!!!!

Akuma Trueno · 01-24-2004, 03:30 PM

A coupe is the poop!!

because S14 hatchback is nothin but a myth.

*DSC* · 01-24-2004, 07:22 PM

fastbacks rule

still gotta love the coupes though...especially the s14 coupes

Ghettokracker71 · 01-25-2004, 02:35 PM

Did I hear Akuma say that coupes are poop and FB's rule ? I think I did....

EDIT:Okay....okay....

.....that wasn't exactly cool what I said....sorry ...

S13Koop · 01-25-2004, 04:17 PM

I like the coupes better, I see so many fastbacks daily I get sick, besides, they look like they got a big bubbly ass out back.
FB

Koops

christopher · 02-03-2004, 01:51 AM

I like the coupes. I have never been a fan of any fastback. They don't serve that much more utility than a coupe as far as I can tell. If you are driving it for performance, you don't need to carry crap anyway. Pointless. BTW this car was origionally marketed to women... not as race cars.

driftz240sx · 02-03-2004, 05:48 AM

I would take either one, but i have to say definately the coupe

Adam@gtpro · 02-03-2004, 10:07 AM

Fastbacks are cool, but for chassis strength I still say COUPE!!

+ if Koguchi drove a coupe every one would want coupes

Zed · 02-06-2004, 08:50 AM

I love both body styles as long as the coupe gets a silvia front end

I've grown to have a liking for the coupe with the Silvia front end and projectors oo_oo....but the FB is still my fav.

mistaanime · 02-06-2004, 04:26 PM

allbout the fastbacks.

elevator · 02-22-2004, 02:04 AM

Both in one!

Salty_X · 02-22-2004, 02:28 AM

I'm all about the coupe... with pop-ups.

SiLvIa conversyn = :ghey:

Vatche · 02-22-2004, 02:37 AM

coupes look better as a car.....then the fastback....stock or fixed up coupe has better lines.....with some nice fat fenders....damn the coupes look nice and they come with hud! haha

Akuma Trueno · 02-23-2004, 10:06 AM

Any 240sx is better than a Civic coupe or a Civic hatchback.... just my opinion though...

white_89 · 02-27-2004, 03:29 AM

I own a fastback, although at first i was looking for a coupe, the look of the fastback has really grown on me

nightwalker · 02-27-2004, 05:32 AM

fastbacks rule. They have such an everlasting style to them. The coupe looks like a Stanza. Fastbacks were ahead of their time when they were made, reason why they sold so long in japan.

BiluMaster K's · 02-27-2004, 01:07 PM

hey, i didnt like the s13 until i relized you can retrofit the front end for the coupe(long ago).
there is something about the rear side windows and C-pillars that just looks georgeous.
It also can look like an ugly-duck if done wrong, uglier than most cars are capable of: a very fine line........i like that!
