I'd agree that 80 pounds isn't too big of a deal, but it becomes noticeable when there is more than 300 additional pounds, which is what my co-worker weighs when I drop him off at home after work. I'm thinking the next time he sits in the right rear passenger seat for better weight distribution.

Has anyone noticed a difference in power between the two. And for people with the wagon, does it pop when you shift gears and through you back like the sedan?
Yes you do get thrown back, You should have seen the grin on my face when I first experienced the boost kick in. I was wondering what the hell it was.

The sedan probably has a stiffer body than the wagon.

Dude, I bet he's just shifting harder. Both cars have the same ECU and the same maps. The weight is the only difference. IIRC, the sedan is ~0.3 seconds faster 0 to 60 but the wagon is about 53 times cooler than the sedan.

When I was stock, I did a run with my friend in his wagon.....
pretty much the same! He's a better driver so maybe that has something to do with it too!

BUT NOW..........

Or you just shift a lot smoother than your buddy does!
