Bought a new car tonight after looking for an sri too long i settled for another vw.
Ive bought a black n plate 2.0l 16v corrado. Mint condition and i mean mint. 75k on the clocks , 2 owners from new too.
will get some pics up tomorrow when i take a few pics. looking forward to getting it in the morning. thought id never buy another vw but this little beaut was too cheap to say no.:beer: :beer:
That doesn't seem right to me, don't get me wrong I love the Corrado but as standard the specs are quite down on an XE. I wonder if VW under rated them for some reason?
Yeah I can't say too much either as I have only driven the cav I am just going on the specs of the VW and the time I went in my uncles corrado, it felt really slow in comparison to my cav.
its good to see some sensible replys and not the usual my cars better than your car or its faster blah blah blah, good to see some people posting decent stuff and not utter tosh.

Awaits chavtastic.....
lets get him started I think the Corrado is the best looking coupe of the 90's and much nicer to look at then the calibra lmao lmao ha ha only joking, you're right it is nice to see some people respecting someones car for a change. Maybe its because your not pretending your car is the best car in the whole wide world?
Oh yeah its better then the cally by far even if it is slower, would have been nice if they had got a decent turbo in it though or made it RWD. I have heard some nasty stuff about the VR6 ones not sure if its true or not though, but they sure go like stink.
You know much about them mate?
Had a boy'd up (tasteful + expensive) one behind me, and I was flat out from 40 to 130, looked in mirror and all I saw was Corrado lmao
Looking at the stats the VR6/G60 shouldn't have came close.

Only what I have seen on parkers and other sites, not sure what you would have to do to one to keep up with an M3, as you say even the VR6 is way down on the M and the G60 doesn't even come close. I do wonder however what the VR6 would be like with a turbo? not sure how the hell it would fit in the engine bay, otherwise guess it could have been a twiddled VAG 1.8T they can make 300BHP so should easily match your M as even the VR6 is way lighter then the M.
Was my thought, I had out forward planned him to get in front, and he followed for miles to a dual carriageway.
Wouldn't have done that unless he thought he'd have a good chance I'd have thought.
Many may not be fans of M's, but even the most blinkered of people know they're fairly quick.
its a 2.0 16v N reg didnt come in 1.8. its 136bhp but the 1.8 is 133 iirc
seems very nippy and quick to 60 but ill be doing a few things to it and get it rolled and see what power its running.
good post guys thanks for all the nice comments.
good cars are the corrado's, but then you cant really knock good old v dubs tbh.always had a thing for mk2 golfs for some reason(could have something to do with being one of the first quick cars that i've owned)
