I made my decision!!!!

[red82gt]

I don't think you'll be much, if any at all, lighter. The 82gt's stock curb weight is only a few pounds heavier (3049 vs 3027 according to Insurance Corp. of British Columbia Data) than an 87-89 4 cyl. notch and that is with the 4 cyl. I think it would be a lot of effort for a marginal improvement.

The hatch may feel heavy compared to a trunklid but add in the weight of the rear window and the piece that goes across the base of the window. The difference is not that big. To drop 5/10ths you'd need to drop at least 300lbs, there is no way that coupe is 300lbs lighter than an 82gt.
