C320 coupes?
Anyone out there experienced or own a C320 coupe- preferably with a manual? I'm trying to find one around me with a manny to try, but its proving difficult so far. Also, can anyone explain why the C230 sedan weighs LESS than the coupe, but the opposite is true with the C320s?? I thought the sunroof might be a factor, but this still makes no sense to me, but that is how they're listed in the 2003 C brouchure- odd huh?
Thanks and kind regards.

C320 Coupe
To buy my 320 6sp I had to drive a C320 auto coupe and a 230 6sp coupe.
Then ordered the 320 6sp and took it for a 30 min test drive before I forked over the money.
Go for it if you like a standard trans. The gearing is a little short, 5th is 1:1 and 6th is .86 (or so) 80mph in 6th is 2900 RPM. The 6 cyl doesn't need a close ratio gearbox like the 1.8L
Have fun,
Matt

I didn't even sit in a coupe prior to ordering mine! 
(I now have)
It's arrived at the dealership this week, but I'm only picking it up next friday (28th)
I already have Eibach sway bars and I'm waiting for the euro-strips to arrive (thanks Steve)!
