Last night I was at a stoplight when a vw corrado pulled up next to me. It was cold so there is no opening windows and talking about racing. He was reving his engine a bit and I could hear it was a vr6. At green we both punched it. 1st, 2nd gear I was right next to him, 3rd he started pulling on me and about 3 or 4 cars at the end of 4th. Here the vr6 corrado's come with a 2.9l 200hp instead of the US version 2.8l. He had for sure some mods done to his engine. Well, at least I can share a lost, something that not everyone does on this site. Most of the stories are always the winning stories. I guess we all lose at one point in time!

is your corrado a 2.8 or 2.9? Here they come 2.9 all wheel drive vr6. They got some good power. I raced a golf vr6 and I did win that race so Im faster than the 2.8l those vw have.

Whats up dude. I have a 2.8l VR6 but my car came with a 1.8l supercharged 4 banger. Anyway, I know the Euro VR Corrados came 2.9 and with more power but they didnt come AWD unless he has a syncro for it. I know of one guy from Connecticut that I hang with sometimes that has a rallye golf VR6 (swap of course). The rallye golfs only came out in Europe and came AWD with a G60 motor (like my Corrado originally had) but this guy swapped a VR6 into it. Someone imported it and he bought it off the dude. The car is pretty quick but I have yet to see it run at the track or get any times at the moment.

Nice run and be safe. Peace

Uhm, yes the corradodo come awd here with syncro ofcourse, forgot to mention that. I had a friend in Miami with a g60 supercharged but it wasn't as fast as my prelude back then. He had the basic exhaust and intake. Im sure u can make them run. I personally don't like golfs and corrado's but the ones with the vr6 engine make good power, and so, I have respect for them
