While I am by no means an expert on Volkswagens, that car would probably do ok.
Until you had to race against a well prepared E36 BMW.
But it would be a fun project.

isn't a corrado a MK3 platform?
I believe Bildon was pretty succesful with their Corrado in ITS, not sure how the specs of the cars differ. Just going by eye, but the Corrado looks like it has a lower roof, which would be an advantage. Similar to a MK1 Rabbit and Scirocco
My understanding is that the Mk3 Golf VR6 is mechanically identical to the Corrado VR6. The GCR seems to suggest that also. From what I can find on the web, the Bildon Corrado had a successful but short-lived campaign. I think I'll drop them an email.
I don't have illusions that this car could beat the e36, all else being equal. I'm more interested in something that is rather low maintenance but could place well given the right conditions, like a very wet track.
Nope the 'rado and Mk3 are very very similar even though the 'rado is a Mk2 it was kinda the prototype for the Mk3

Agreed.
The Corrados are a mix of A2 and A3 chassis (and of course those chassis are actually very similar). The GTI motor/brakes/trans are very similar, but different - trans is not the same for instance, though probably has same ratios.
The GTI would surely be easier to find spares for should you bend it. The Corrado probably has an edge on straight line handling. I think the GTI would be competitive, but require a decent tire budget.
