The gt isn't a coupe. The Hatch weighs a couple hundred more and the gt weighs a little more because of the ground effects.

I just posted that up.

If you can find a notch that would be the way to go. If you already have the hatch just work with that.

Notchs are going for alot more than hatches. If everything is the same the notch car would go for 2-4k more than the hatch. You can still find 4cyl. notchs for a decent price though.

I would get an old *** 4cyl notch. Get the 8.8 rear and start the swap.
