    Bildons Corrado was doing VERY well in Atlanta at the ARRCs, but suffered braking issues. It was a car with 3 (?) races on it. lot's of teething/development to go, presumably. Which bodes well for it's chances.

    Looked cool too.

    If you have not watched thier videos, go do it now. The sound alone may justify building a good ITS VR6 car.

    Ok, One note, O2A/02J/ect....Lets say cable shift, trans are all the same inside, 2nd gear sucks in all of them...Next VR6 spindles are VR6, MK2-3 5x100 bolt patern& funky angled balljiont....1990& up Mk2 GLi spindles & 4cyl mk3 are mostly interchangeable(abs)
    I think the diffrence with coraddo's is more about VR6 vs. G60....I used to know more about it 10 years ago......I am forgetting MK1 stuff daily!!!Stupid MK6s are here!

    STOP!! You guys are making me miss my Corrado. Have to say that of all of the cars we have owned since we have been married, this is the only one I miss. Not that it didn't have it's issues, but....it was a real cool car to drive.

    We always thought the Corrado would be a kickass car to race, but sheet metal replacement would be almost impossible, and keeping front tires on the thing could cost you a fortune.

    Corrados are very cool cars to drive, and I'm with you Lesley, it's one of the few cars that I really do miss. And there's really nothing like the sound of a VR6 at full song, especially a well tuned one w/ an open intake and a free-flowing exhaust. I know a VR6 Mk III GTI is a very similar car, mechanically, but it's definitely no 'rado.

    WOuld that be much different than other high hp FWD ITS and ITR cars? Is it because the engine weighs more?
