Default corrado vr6's

been lookikng at vr6 corrados for a couple of years now and am considering replacing series2 with one. my car has a cooler chip etc probs about 160/170 bhp tuned at oddkid creations .
has anybody gone from a rst to a vr6 and how did you find it? my guess is i might find it a bit boring but at the same time a bit less boy racer.
car will be a toy/summer car doing about 4k a year so not to worried about mpg serviceing etc.

also what are the main problems/faults with these engine wise?


cheers rob

Really nice feeling well put together cars that with the right mod's can be one of the nicest looking cars about imo. BUT they are slow and heavy feeling things until your on the move i found. Deffo a car designed for cruising the autobahn i think.

Goin from a rst to vr6 , it will feel a lard arsed cumbersome drive for a while .

I had one rather a long time ago. One of my favourite cars (it was stolen after a few months). very well put together, as mentioned above more of a cruiser type car. Buy one, although they are not cheap anymore.

Nose heavy and handle shit. Great engine for cruising around, just don't expect it to be very good down the lanes

They sound great but thats about it. The power output for a 2.9 litre is a joke.
