If you have a full caged with subframes, etc., does not matter which car you buy! Overall though, the Coupe has a stiffer platform and are more perfered for racing...hence the higher $$$ amounts!

stop stressing over it like you was told by the time you get the cage in the car there wont be any differences between them just pick the one that looks the best to you and needs the least amount of body work so you can save your self some coin. May be look around and find one that has a cage in it already. you know a race car that someone gave up on or moved up to another car. One thing to look for and at would be the torque boxes and the floor under the driver seat to see if things are cracked or ripping it self apart.
