I could swear after driving a 5 door and a 3 door back to back both being stock, that the 3 door was faster and much more easier to toss around.
Any thoughts?

There is absolutely no difference between the 5-door and 3-door except for the two extra doors: engine and dimensions are the same. The only difference may be the weight of the extra doors and structural rigidity. Probably what would make the most difference is how well the cars have been maintained and how hard they have been treated over the years.

^^ like they said, the difference between the two is minimal. When i drove them i noticed that the 4dr was slightly heavier, and the rear of the car tended to lean more around corners, but thats probably fixable with a decent swaybar and better suspension.
But the above was minimal, a well maintained 5-dr will be neck and neck with a 3dr no problem.
