    Default Whats a Corrado G60??

    Just found out I can do chips for them (kinda by accident), and I know nothing about the car yet (year, engine etc...)

    Anyone?

    just a normal corrado but with the G60 engine in it

    G60 is weaker than the VR6

    Well tuned G60s will outperform VR6s...forced induction or not

    You have to see it to believe it.

    G60 was a 156hp 1.8L motor, VR6 was the infamous 174hp VR6

    Canada got the Corrado up to 95 (they were ndied in 94 for the US)

    The G60 is very nice but you better be a mechanic or be great frioends with one.

    a 1700 dollar stage 3 upgrade makes that car very fast!

    No he doesn't =)

    It's already got an Authority Stage II chip.

    Toma, you could be better off focusing on the VW/Audi 1.8T chips. The G60 is almost 10 years old and you prolly won't get a lot of demand for it.

    Too bad they discontinued it. It was the only respectable VW that ever came out imo...

    Yes, the coolest thing was the G60 Syncro Golf which wasn't available in North America. I have a close friend who is building a G60 syncro Passat.

    Can't wait to see the R32!

    Default Corrado G-60

    Where do I start with the G-60

    I have now owned 2 corrado G-60's.
    The first was a beautiful "Tornado Red", complete with Reimus exhaust, ABD intake, Authority stage III chip and pulley....the works.
    That car was great....then I wrote it off on a curb!

    My second g-60 was a stock 91 with only 75,000Km on it. I had Enkei RS-6's on it, KYB struts, H&R springs, Reimus exhaust and a Reiger front end. It was pretty pimpy, then the Supercharger blew up while I was driving!

    I'm giving you all a 4-warning....if you don't have mad $$ to fix them, get the VR6...much better deal and you can get them for a good price these days.
    The G-60 is just too unreliable. Problems with the sunroof, electrical and the engine is sub-par in comparison to the VR6.

    No shit hey! HaHa
    Me and Corrado's just don't vibe!
    I could have been boosting by now if I hadn't blown so much money on those god damn cars!
    Oh well...
    The "right side" has been more fun anyway!
    Especially when I blow by "Ludebuster"....I mean Ludelvr!

    To be quite honest with you I think someone bought my car from the salvage auction and then re built it. I saw that red one at McLeod Trail AB and it had everything that my old car had...just different rims.....don't blaim them, that thing hauled ass.
    Funny how the same car can be written off twice from the same thing....
