Tom Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Anyone have/had one on here? A friend of mine is looking, I love em to pieces, he'll be wanting the vr6(can't blame him) and I've told him to look out for a storm model(I know there very rare!) anyway what are they like? Tom.

Bobbeh Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I've always liked them, nice looking cars. Still fetch quite a good price too as they're fairly rare (good condition ones anyway) and are a fun car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'd go for the G60 personally, as isn't the VR6 a 12 valve? My mates VR6 golf was so I'm guessing it's the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovels Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 you'll find that the Corrado is a 2.9 - produces a bit more power. The cars are quite basic inside, but fun to drive. I used to have a MKII Golf with a 2.9 VR6 lump dropped in it. wasn't as well balanced as the Corraso, but was much quicker as it was so much lighter. Plus you can get a supercharger fitted which makes them go like shit-off-a-shovel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 One of my close friends has a G60 and is very much involved in Golf/Corrado circles. He chose the G60 over the VR6 as it's a lot more tuneable. He really loves them. Fair do's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thanks much appreciated! I just downloaded a clip of a vr6, they sound incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamAhead Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lovely cars VR6's. Tell him to get one!. Can chuck them round bends with know problems. My mate has a cracking example in black, but he has desided to garage it as it's got 100,000 miles on the clock and does not want to put any more miles on it (he only drives in the weekend as well), he also said that he wants more power but as his VR6 is his baby he does not want to mod it or sell it, mmmmmm? Trust me, his don't hang around. Now he has gone out and bought himself a Mitsubishi 3000GT for £4000. I could rattle on for ages on whats wrong with this thing he's bought ......but I won't If I could get him to sell his VR6 I'm sure someone out there would give it a loving home, just such a waste of a lovely car sitting in that garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Lol, I searched for "supra" on the site, have a read of this! http://www.the-corrado.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31061&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=supra&start=30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 wouldn't say they were really basic inside. one of my mates has a VR6 and has just fitted some standard (though not on his particular car) black leather heated seats.........don't have those in my SZ!!

keron Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 i used to have one back in the day (a showcar and was featured in pvw!) they are good cars, very reliable but if you go from a supra to a corrado you wont like it as they are a bit rough (exactly like a golf) you feel everything. pic attached of my old one.....
