So there are both frontal area and Cd disadvantages. The chassis should be nearly identical.

I would have sworn just by looking at them (and getting in and out of them) there was a greater difference in height!
Ah, the sedan, not the coupe! So it has the SPI 2.0? They had better low end torque than the Zetec 2.0 in my ZX2. That alone should give you an advantage over me.

My Cd is about 0.26 do you have any aero mods?
