I sold my VR6 to a mate, it wasn't standard-had a scotts 3.2 conversion. And my RST would pull away from it in every gear. My RS wasn't standard either though @ 25psi boost! However the corrado was much better around corners. Couple of pics

I've got a Golf VR6 - its quick but as you say 'twitchy as hell' in bends! Got Eibach ARB's and Bilstein coilovers etc but it adds to the excitement when the back end starts hopping round at 120mph
The Corrado's meant to handle better than a Golf though.

The corrado was better handling out of the two, escort felt quicker and was much more fun-but the corrado was more planted. It was a big heavy car yes but was better. But then neither the VR or the RS were standard so its hard to compare! I had a standard RS years back and it was scary how it handled!

As standard cars, the carrado with out perform and out handle an RS Turbo. 3rd gear on the VR's is very long and ideal for quick overtaking on B roads etc. However, get an RST chipped and koni's etc and the VR will struggle to keep ahead due to the extra weight.
Carrado's are actually very good handling cars and far better balanced than the golf VR's. The one you were racing was probably a tired example and not very well setup.
