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.

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)
I thought it may be useful to have some external links as the Corrado scene is still extremely active -- JonRB 10:26, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Why are there no external links on this article? There used to be and now there are zero. Not the same with the other VW vehicle pages. —Preceding

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!
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.
On August 25 2007 Pc13 revised the VW Corrado article and removed all external links and has subsequently removed the addition of any other contributed links to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.104.97.194 ( talk • contribs)
I think that cases regarding autos such as the corrado, where they have a particular cult following, of have long been discontinued by their manufacturer, it is appropriate to list car specific groups. Especially if they provide additional vehicle information. There is likely no official he support for the car anymore and VW does not have an official site up for the car. Other autos on wikipedia known for a close club racing and car following also have external links listing communities revolving around that particular model ie, Porsche 944, Mazda Miata, BMW 2002 all have club listings listed in their wiki article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.150.180.65 ( talk) 21:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Responding to the request for comment, I think some of the provided links do appear to provide useful information to people researching this subject. I would exclude The VR6 Owers Club. Useful information is not easily apparent at this site. The Corrado VR6 Information Site would certainly be helpful, and the Corrado Club of Great Britain appears somewhat useful. I have altered the link to the "Corrado Club of America" to more specifically point to auto information rather than marketing. I cannot comment on the Germany Club. I hope this helps.
