Saw a transporter full of ctr's some with blacked out rear windows,is going to be standard or optional or the ltd edn..?

MooseRacer

Probably the 30th anniversary edition which has them as standard, along with recaro's and aircon.

dogmaul

yup and it looks good with the black glass on my mates silver 30th one with the very nice red recaros aswell

girls car, you need a motor with torque like my VR6

Type R

Yer but your VR6 handles like a shopping trolley

Lapped many of them !!!

The ivtec is rather torquey by the way

Type R

The JDM spec CTR has tinted rear windows as standard aswell, so if they were white proberly off to Japan.

Corrado has one of the best fwd chassis and the engine is stonking I even gave a 355 ferrari a good run

dogmaul

but atleast the corrado does not look like an mpv dont get me wrong i love the ctr but it is a bit too mpv ish

MooseRacer

Can't argue with the first bit, but 355 - hellooooooooo.....

I_dont_giveafvk

I've got a Jetex on it seriously I kept up mid range

Type R

Im not a fan of the new CTR and don't own one, but saying it lacks torque is tosh, Corrado may have had a good FWD chassis years ago, but nowadays it doesnt even come close. Nice car, but not for me.

I wouldnt rate a cars ability on 1 situation against 1 Ferrari. I passed a F355 at the Ring, then got past by a beaten up old Beemer, read into it what you will.

The 355 was on the back of a transport truck at the time no doubt.

Slowest 355 specs are:
Top speed: 183.0 mph
¼ mile 13.3 seconds
0 - 60 mph 4.9 seconds
0 - 100 mph 11.3 seconds

What mods do you have on that corrado exactly?

Volkswagen Corrado.....hehehe they were a good car in the last decade. The styling is very ermmm.....well very past it! I might at a push, drive one around in the dark wearing a disguise.

I thought they'd all be in a crusher by now, I mean who wants to drive around in a car that old ?

oh it keeps up with a Ferrari 355, LOL in the mid-range too

Yeah and I know which one I'd rather own and be seen in!

SideShowBob

How can it be quicker 30 -70 when it gets no where near an 11.3 0-100 time?
Whats the 0-100 on a Corrado? I would guess at around 16 seconds?

golfliam

why couldn't it be quicker - depends which gear your talking about.. still a 355 i doubt it

Rob16v

DreeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEeeaaam, Dream, Dream, Dream....!

...When I want you in my heart....

I_dont_giveafvk

my Corrado is 1 sec behind a 355 30-70 according to autocar figures sooooo how friggin far up the road does 1 sec show up on the road

am tellin you I was hanging off his bumper and in the twisties I was all over the back of him

sure id prefer a 355 but at £8 an hour by the time I can buy one Il be as old as you lot

MooseRacer

give it up, pleeeez

juan

i doubt the corrado could manage 16 secs to 100.

http://www.car-videos.com/performanc...p?id1=22&id2=0 shows 1995 355 as being 10.7 0-100.
http://www.car-videos.com/performanc...?id1=234&id2=0 shows 2003 VR6 as being nearly 19 seconds (and thats the quicker of the 2 VR6 models listed here)

I really don't think your back box is gonna make that up.
He probably didn't even realise you were 'racing' him!

zero_to60

mmmmmm

zero_to60

I had a 'race' against a 355 in my Honda S2000 above 70 it was game over

If an S2000 can't keep up with a 355 a VR6 Corrado won't either

silly boy

MooseRacer

Oh, I forgot to mention I've driven a 355 hard on road and track over a good few days.

If a Corrado does keep up then I'm off to buy one, saving myself upwards of 40k

lpitt

I guess we're talking Gran Turismo on the PS2 here aren't we? A fully loaded Corrado against a stock F355 on GT3. VW would win no worries

rich uk300

didn't know it was half term already

zero_to60

the F355 I was following sounded awesome, he could see I was trying to keep up and the nailed it, wow that exhaust note, it's what prompted me to get an HKS hyper on my Honda, makes it sound like a junior 355

anyone who thinks a Corrado will worry a 355 needs their heads read

rich1231

ho ho ho,

I ha d a 355 spider until the end of July. Mr Vr6 brown stuff for brains is dreaming. The 355 driver was probably readjusting his Rolex.
