Yes, but you would have to add weight to the Coupe to bring it up
to the bulk of the 4Kq, or else it wouldn't be a fair test (the 4Kq gives
up several hundred lbs., as I understand it).  Couldn't you place the weight
such that it approximates the weight distribution of the 4Kq (e.g. to the
rear wheel areas)? 

Now, the different rear suspension geometry cannot be compensated for.
I guess that would make this an apples-to-oranges test.

'85 Coupe GT, wants to kick some 4Kq tail  :0 ;) :)
