* The coupe has wider wheels/tires
* ratio diff 3.05:1(coupe) vs 2.85:1 (sedan). The coupe has a greater ability for better ETs in the 1/4 than the sedan due traction and the diff ratio difference. Also, I think the sedan would start to pull on the coupe if a race was done on the highway due to the weight difference.
* Trap speeds in the 1/4 have been similar

Honestly I don't see the point of the couple (personal preference, YMMV). If I have a hard top anyway, I'd go with the convenience of the four doors.

Now the convertible, that's another story.

Quick questions:
  1. How hard is it to add on the AMG performance exhaust after with the button?
  1. Is the lighting package worth it wit high-beam assist and LED? Can this be retrofitted?

Found a car for a REALLY good price but its missing these 2 features.

^^ 1. Very and I'm not sure you'd be able to source the components.
1. Yes, maybe but will be expensive.

And that's why the car you found seems reasonable. I'd pass on it and continue looking.

Not sure about the lighting package, but I believe it's been stated before on the forum that adding the PE isn't really practical.

You'd pretty much have to go straight aftermarket for the exhaust. Not necessarily a negative though... There are several nice options in the aftermarket arena for exhaust.
