Fastback. I love the lines of the car. I've wanted one ever since I was a sophmore in high school (circa 2001). I'm on my second one now. Before I got my first one, I turned down 2 coupes, both with blown motors, zero rust and body/interior damage (except for the customary driver's seat rip on the left bolster), and costing less than $700 each. I wanted a fastback with a Silvia (S13) front end, and now I do!

And yes, I admit the fb looks like a Probe, but I'd rather it look like that then a 3rd gen. Prelude.

I can, because coupes are better.

haha

khmerguy618 · 03-20-2006, 01:12 PM

coupes of course!

breakindrifts · 03-20-2006, 01:39 PM

Ford Probe or Integra? hmm

punkz · 03-20-2006, 05:53 PM

I love the look of a coupe with the front conversion.

azndummie · 05-16-2006, 09:59 PM

coupes look nice only with the sil fronts, but fastbacks are cheaper and easier to find IMO

<3MyRiceRocKet · 05-16-2006, 10:07 PM

hmm this thread is surfacing again...So...Hatchbacks can carry more drift tires and the coupes look like the nissan Stanza! hahaha Not the sentra but the STANZA. Why don't you guys do the stanza projector headlight conversion. Keep it fresh! haha coupes look like the preludes... I ain't hating, I think two tone coupes are awesome, but I still like the kouki 180sx more over the coupes. Isn't popularity a reason the hatch style kept its production run till ~98'? Hands down baby, cannot beat Statistics.

drift freaq · 05-16-2006, 11:13 PM

Coupes are only winning because coupe lovers feel less love so they come out in force, hahhahha. Fastback owners are more prevalant and there are more Fastback lovers. Coupe owners push the fact that they love the coupe because they have to. J/K but probably true hehehhehhehehe

Daniel. · 05-17-2006, 02:26 AM

im torn i have both! ahhhhhhhhh

sylsevilsis · 05-17-2006, 09:32 AM

In my opinion, my fastback has a sporty look than a coupe. So i guess Fastback all the way.

CHARLIE2020 · 05-17-2006, 09:46 AM

I like the way the coupe looks over the fast back...

*Yuri* · 05-17-2006, 11:24 AM

I have one of each

1FAST91SR20 · 05-17-2006, 01:03 PM

Same Here I Have Both

g6civcx · 05-17-2006, 01:05 PM

Asthetics aside, the fastback is more practical for reasons stated above. It's also easier to work on the rear end of a fastback because things are more exposed.

The coupe is lighter and less flimsy. Some will argue that the trunk is more practical because it's a separate compartment

Pick your poison. I prefer the fastback because I do a lot of my own work, and having the extra space to haul junk is useful as well.

drift freaq · 05-17-2006, 04:01 PM

Fastbacks are sports cars, coupes are sports coupes. I prefer sports cars to sports coupes.

ms!3 · 05-19-2006, 02:55 PM

coupe all the way

93superHICAS · 05-25-2006, 01:50 PM

fastbacks, there funner to drive, coups are ok, but not as awsome as fb, but you's got to pop that hatch

S13Eye · 05-25-2006, 02:54 PM

Does it matter? I don't know about you, but while i'm sitting inside the car driving, i can't see much of the rear end of the car so the body style doesn't make a difference for me.

Slippin'eight-nine · 05-25-2006, 02:59 PM

I am definitely going for the Fastback..like someone else said, its what initially drew my attention to the 240sx. The coupe lines are not as clean, its now "trendy" to have one, and kouki tails>red/clears

cfrost · 05-25-2006, 03:13 PM

fastbacks are better for drift racing

phreze · 05-25-2006, 05:01 PM

If I could I would own both! kouki tails are probably the coolest stock tail lamps but the coupe with "brick" silvia headlamps are pretty bad ass too.
