G60 is probably my all time favourite car, but apparently the VR handles better?
obviously a G would have to be yellow and the VR has to be that cool reddy purple colour

its wasn't really a performance minded comment, think he was talking about the image/statement side of things

Calibra's apparently are regarded as the new capri
But its a darnsight better than the probe
I blame the hideously modified ones floating about

i cant see a 400bhp FWD corrado handling very well if at all, especially against a 4x4 911 turbo which is highly regarded as one of the finest handling cars that money can buy
But yeah your right bloody germans

but seriously, that video... think it might be over fuelling a bit
Jambo, VR6 is widely regarded as THE best handling FWD car ever

Thought that was the teg type r? Im not disputing their handling abilities im stating there is no way a heavy FWD 3.0l car will outhandle a 911 turbo. Not even in corsaland

what is bi turbo anyways? is it just a twin turbo or am i getting the wrong end of the stick?
though that vid is a bit different - its like having a machine gun on the back of it would anti-lag cause it to spit like that?

A bi Turbo doesn't mind if it is a male or female driver.

the corrado has been known as the best handling FWD for a long time, only recently bettered by the integra and focus RS
i just got back home from going to see the corrado  took it for a drive
handling was awesome, very tight and instant, engine was quiet, pretty much had a head re-build 6,000miles ago from looking at the paperwork.
rear bumper needs a respray
sunroof didn't work properly
door edge was scraped (opened into a wall)
was quite tatty really
so not sure what i'll do
