    I have always dreamed of owning a corrado. Once I have a few years under my belt I would love to put one together for IT. Anyone have experience with running one or know alot about the performance of the car and if it does well? Pros + Cons? Development?

    Thanks

    Yah but don't listen to Gary's gloom and doom about failing pistons and wheels Just kidding Gary!
    The Corrado was very reliable as a dominant SSA car and still is as an ITS car.

    Phillip Munoz runs a VR6 Corrado here in San Francisco, and yes, it's the sweetest sounding car on the track.

    He has problems with failing CV's since the car was originally too low, but once he raised it up an inch or two, the 1/2 shaft problem went away.

    He does tend to tear up the front tires with regularity.
