The VW Corrado VR6 is the best VW ever made.

people going on about vr6 sound must never of heard the g60

corrados are an absolute classic style but you dont get 'that' feeling you get when driving one of the old gti's

beetles where rubbish. same as minis. a fashion thing. the modern day equivelant would be errrrrm the new beetles and new minis
 
Having owned all of the Corrado's bar the 2.0 valver I can say that personally, the G60 is more fun, especially when tuned.

It's not got the noise of the VR but the lighter engine made for better handling and its own unique sound.

I like them so much I own 3 rado's still, but all off the road :( I think the G60 was £19k when it was new back in 1990 (about £35k now), disc brakes all round, abs etc.

Yes, it looks dated now but they are a lovely drive, however, I think i'd swap my 2 valvers and G60 for a 350z :p Although I am working at getting them on the road :)

It's the term used in the Corrado community for a normally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. I.e. not a VR6 or G60.

Actually it's the term used in the Volkswagen community for a 16v (generally the KR 16v engine)

... facts?

Remap a PD130 Polo to 180HP with an off the shelf Revo stage 1 map and it will easily leave a Polo 9N3 GTI 150HP in the dust. The GTI also has considerably worse fuel economy.
 
Sorry but you're grossly exaggerating.

Lets ignore the fact youre comparing a modified car with a standard one with less power....Go take two cars of similar weights but let's say a 50bhp power difference. Put both in the right gear for whatever speed you're doing then put the foot down in both.

"Left in the dust" is just nonsense.

Go to a track and look at how much of a gap cars with significant power differences pull on each other on clear straights - it takes a hell of a lot of extra power to leave anything in the manner you suggest.

A little diesel polo with more bhp than a petrol will obviously be quicker over a small portion of its rev range. It will do no such thing as leave a similar car with a turbocharged petrol engine for dead
 
The "new beetle" coupled with that same 2 litre 8v really was quite a spectacularly crap car

There are a few new, new beetles around here now and I mist admit they at least look pretty good

But it is not a 50hp difference, it is a 20hp difference.

I went from a remapped passat 130pd to a standard 1.8t 150hp passat. Same b5.5 model.

The 150 1.8t was slow as ****!!!! No torque, (remapped diesel has 280lb/ft, 1.8t has around 120lb/ft), required changing gear just to overtake at 70, etc etc.

There is not much difference at all between my 160 bhp 1.8t FSI s-tronic a3 and my previous 140 tdi s-tronic A3 in terms of speed and acceleration. There is a difference on motorways, I have to drop a gear or two to overtake whereas the 140 tdi would do it in 6th. Half as much lb/ft will do that.

So, sorry, but you are wrong.
