Talk:Volkswagen Corrado

G-Lader (G60) motor
The vw corrado is soooo sexy. I totally think that i would cream myself all over the place if i owned one. It will beat any car in a race if oyu hook it up right. I don't know enough yet about the G60 to do it myself, but the G-Lader supercharger is an interesting design and I think that since the Corrado and the Golf Rallye, which have both reached cult-status among European car fans, were powered by the G60 at least at one point in their productions that the motor deserves it's own page. Someone should get one going.

Yeah I agree - don't forget the G40 that they stuck in the Polo, too. God knows why, it was like a shopping trolley with a jet engine.


 * I included a link from the G-Lader description back to the scroll supercharger article (which is what it was). Gives a little more insight into the G60 motor.

Horsepower ratings
According to the Canadian Owner's Manual for a 1993 VR6 Corrado, the hp rating is 178 NOT 174. Same goes for the G60, the hp rating is 158 NOT 160 as documented in the Corrado article. Perhaps there was a descrepency between US and Canadian models though this is highly unlikely as the Canadian and US Corrado engine designs were identical to my knowledge.

Big deal, there is no way to tell 2-3 hp off anyway. 76.65.91.224 (talk) 18:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

24v VR6
A big thing on the scene, especially in the Uk at the moment is to replace the 12v VR6 with the newer 24v version from Golf 4motion and R32 models. Its excellent, I have one myself!

Photos
Are we happy with the new photos? Firstly, a shot from above is quite an unnatural view of a car. Secondly, cars all look pretty similar from above anyway. Thirdly, it's been (subtly) modified and is in a pretty unusual colour. I would prefer to see a completely standard, unmodified car from a natural perspective, not somebody's pride and joy from three different angles. And a popular colour would be good, too - most of the ones I see her in the UK are black or other dark metallic colours.

I think that it might be even better to find a Classic Green- this was the most common color produced (usually with a red dot or grey dot interior) or imported to the USA.
