aint the vr6's 171bhp standard? and around 177lb/ft torque? i never look on them as slow just that they take a while to get going, once going though they can motor!
just for peeps opinions, ive had a challenge laid dwn for me when my 5's all sorted and done, its a vr6-filter,exhaust,chipped, against my 5, reckons it will beat the 5 off the mark and outright easily,
my 5-check my garage and car details, info much appreciated plz

hi mate,
what's the insurance like in your car and the petrol. I would have thought these beasts are quite thirsty!
Nice motor by the way
Is it a highline?

The mk3 golf and corrado are not the same car at all.
The Corrado is based on the mk2 Golf.

if you cant afford to put 70 quid a week in petrol then dont bother buying one because you wont have the pleasure of driving it
