Vert vs. coupe

[Mr. Tasty]

This. Cornering in a vert does not inspire confidence

It is very noticeable. Both my vert and sedan have very similar suspension setups and the vert feels "loose."

I'll need to disagree

MAYBE in OEM form yes.

my vert with full GC and Koni setup+ Gargistic reinforcement plates+fat sways+powerflex everything, makes my vert handle pretty damn tight, predictable and flat.

it's a stiff right tho

[Mwishlist]

I hated verts, till I bought one. If I was going to really take the power level up with a turbo or whatever, I would definitely feel safer doing that to a coupe. But I have to say, riding with the top down is pretty fkg sweet and instantly trumps the half a second the coupe will give you stock.

I'd rather have my cabrio over a coupe any day. In fact, I'd rather have a 4 door over a coupe.....unless it's an M3.

Put an upgraded suspension and a strut bar in it and you'll be just fine.

Any stock e30 is slow by todays terms, my 6000 pound F150 FX4 has comparable acceleration....with many more cupholders

Verts are better because, due to the chassis flexing, you will always have all 4 wheels touching the ground.

#neverlift.

Chassis flex is actually a engineered feature in the e30 vert.

Only thing I hated about my vert was the wind noise.


And that body flex.

wind noise: screen for back seat-problem fixed

body flex: get a hard top-problem fixed

I have a vert with bilsteins and vogtlands and with semi-decent tires, its a fun handler. I'm not a racecar driver so it's enough for me.

Fall is coming, leaves are changing colors, this is the best time for driving a vert.

Lol people complaining about those problems in a 'vert are not awesome enough to drive a 'vert.

'Verts are so you LOOK awesome to everyone else. It take a pretty selfless person to sacrifice chassis rigidity and comfort so everyone else can enjoy how awesome they look.

Most of the thumbs up I got was for how awesome the car looks, NOT for how I look. And according to my wife, I don't have any "look".

[cabriodster87]

Verts handle so well because all the extra weight is so low in the chassis, call it ballast...lower center of gravity, whatever. lol

My Vert goes Fast, its just not very Quick.

the vert's worst thing is the wet noodle feel, front to back will twist up to 2 inches.

sounds scientific.
