personally i think the gt's are the nicest,
if you leaving it stock.

if your making a drag car, id go with the notch cuz they are lighter.

i have a notch, but its only because i found i at too good of a deal to pass up.
but i was looking for a gt

Notch is lightest/fastest,but hard to find with all power options, most are stripped down models...The next fastest is the Lx hatch, then the Gt. If your going for looks get the gt, it looks better, if you want kinda a mix then get a lx hatch, they all have the same options, except lx notches and lx hatches, they come with notmal seats, but can come with the gt sports seats, if they ordered that option, there is no 1 better than another the each server there purpose, meaning if you u want speed and no looks get the notch, it also rarer, if going for looks get the GT it looks better and will porlly have the better options.

LX NOTCH is my favorite, but I have a sn95 and I hate it. My dream is a notch.

My 'vert is cool! I really like the LX coupe body the best if I was forced to choose. I really dislike the skirt on the GT. My .02!

lol.. whoever said "body kit" is awesome. that's basically the only major difference between the hatches at least. i do agree on the notch being a bit lighter and obviously more desirable for anyone going the distance in the racing scene - not only for being lighter, but also having the stiffest chassis of the three.

i have to say, the LX hatches are stylistically my favorite. i just think the stock body kits on the GTs look too bulky and cheap. the LXs are simplified.. and there's no big rear bumper to hide those fat tires and tailpipes

don't get me wrong, i still love the GTs.. and the fog lights are pretty hot.

Buy & enjoy whatever style you love..... Really, who cares about 100-200lbs? You can get a GT down to the weight of an LX & we are only talking about 1-2 tenths difference in et's due to weight!
