Me and my very clever brother share a regular 2.0l model, stunning car always gets the nod from passers by, but I think that's more due to the fact the 2.0l was removed in favour of the 1.8 turbo Audi s3 unit rewarding this car with the heart it deserves!!! We did find under hard acceleration the power steering oil pipe was severed, a bit of re routing and cable ties it's sorted. It will re map to 260bhp but torque steer might be too much, this car weighs 400kg less than the s3 and 220bhp seems
in some way that ability to drive on three wheels might be fun but in regular traffic this doesn't give enough confidence unless you know car's limits very well
Tiff Needell was surprisingly more measured, bearable back then. He seems to have taken to shouting his mouth off in the last decade or so, like he's had a bump on the head.
@techromancer1 My classmates brother bought one for almost 3500$. He paid the same money to repair and tune that badboy up. It is one of the best accelerating cars that I hav driven. It sucks u into ur seat when u accelerate with full throttle. Buy a cheap one and tune it up. This is almost the only way to get a corrado g60 in a good condition. :) Hope u understood what I said, my english isn't the best ;).
@Annihilator1111 from my best knowledge as an owner of few corrados, golfs and passats in my life and being a huge fan of VW's... there was no 1.8L having 115 hp, but there was indeed 2.0 with such amount of horses, it's codename was 2E.
Another thing was that 1.8 16V with a symbol KR has had 139 hp, there was no version with 123, there could have been PL with 129 hp, but it was rather swapped unit, basically installed in passats and golfs.
And the last thing: 2.0 16V (symbol 9A) has had 136 hp.
@MrRoboto305 Standard operating procedure in the Corrado :) Mine lifts when entering driveways. It's a function of the rear torsion beam suspension design, stiffer than most non-sport versions (base model golf/jetta, etc)
My dad and I have always loved the Corrado, although I've always felt we were somewhat of a minority in that opinion.
I nearly bought one in '94 but it was used versus getting a new Golf. My parents were concerned about repairs so I ended up with the Golf. It had the 1.8 litre, an automatic, and did 0-60 in about 14 seconds (no exaggeration).
Somehow I don't think I got the better car. :( This design still looks great to me today!
@SashkoDC, boot stands for trunk, and bonnet is for hood. Just a small difference between british-english and american-english. Not a big tragedy, just watch the goddamned video.
@SashkoDC, I apologize if I personally didn't quite find it funny. To me it sounded a lot like a moaning of some sort, but that's just me, so move on, nothing to see here...
@ultimatefantasy1 The amount of grip given by the rear inside wheel in a corner is completely inconsiderable, infact even if the wheel is on the ground the weight on it is so small (due to the centrifugal forces which you cannot avoid) that it makes no difference whatsoever. On a 4WD (or RWD) car (obviously there's no such problem on a FWD) the torque is sent to the external back wheel (which has way more grip) by the rear differential. I can list lots of great cars that corner on 3 wheels
@ultimatefantasy1 Lol I don't have a Corrado and I don't want it I'm just saying that you are wrong! And you can accept it or not, but that's it. I got a Clio which doesn't lift its wheel but you can be pretty sure that a Civic type-R (that does lift its wheel a lot) handles WAY better than my Clio! Anyways, think what you like, we live in a free world. But physics are not opinions! So you are just wrong ;P
@ultimatefantasy1 Obviously you've never watched WTCC. Or Formula 1. Or Rally. Or any kind of motorsport apart from ovals. Where the wheels don't lift just because there aren't any bends. You're making it worse every word you say...
@ultimatefantasy1 Obviously I was talking about rally on tarmac... Not on the gravel... God I thought that was obvious enough... At this point let's start with the bets: you're american and 13. lol
@Mawerik024 hahaha im american hahaha IM DUTCH dickhead and car mechanic so dont come and talk shit to me, the car makes torsie when it moves and that bad, for grip and the car body
@ultimatefantasy1 Nothing to laugh being not american doesn't play in your favour cause you have less excuses to be ignorant. Being a mechanic doesn't mean knowing laws of physics. For them you got to be a physicist or an engineer. Which I happenly almost am. Of course the car wrenches in the bends, infact lifting a back wheel can be considered a proof that the chassis is very rigid so it's a GOOD thing. I repeat. Watch any wtcc clip, any tarmac rally, any F1 race. Want the links?
@Mawerik024 i can realy tell you only know theorie but nothing in reality, go on in life with you stupidity. im done with you bullshit and dont wann waste any more energie on your pointless comment on me.
@ultimatefantasy1 Ok ok. Even if you think motorsport is "theory" or "bullshit", I'll stick with it if you don't mind. You've lost an opportunity to learn something. Bye
@gsxrful 16v is the base model naturally aspirated 4 cylinder (not available in the US I think), G60 4 cylinder supercharged is faster, then there's the vr6 witch is a v6 more powerful (slightly) but heavier.
G60 is the best imho but others will bring up some of the reliability problems of the G60's supercharger.
@jsuttonus Virtually every front drive hatch out there does that. Every golf gti including the current version, the focus rs, clio sport 200, civic type r etc all lift their inside rear under hard cornering. It does look scary but actually in a front driver where 75% of the weight is in the front it helps the car turn in and minimise understeer.
i have a 1990 g60 i love it and i got it for nothing from my buddy.He though i would have it for a few weeks and it would die.ive had it for 2years now and its still running.
jml8841 here on youtube is muslim from Holland. he thinks just because he was born in Holland he is dutch. at the same time he wants to take over Europe with his religion. he is strange.
@zabijaq123 Now watch the SLC vr6 Top Gear video.... they concur the vr6 is much better & the best handling & braking back then. Vr6 has much more potential :)
I owned a 1.8 16v; great to drive when it worked. Unreliable bugger of a thing, could not be kept in tune. It was stolen on September 11 2001 and never recovered. Considering a new bonnet was £600 it was probably broken for parts. Oh, the rear wing creaked when it activated.
i had a 1990 G60 for a few years with all the usual bolt ons like under drive pulley chip etc. They are too heavy to be agile and eat through front tires at an alarming rate if driven hard.
Great GT car though [ no surprise since that what they were made to be ]
Very expensive car to freshen up and really not worth the cost to do so.
VR6 cars were a tad better but they are prone to eating themselves when driven hard [first gen water jackets] and they still didn't handle due to the weight.
I owned a G60 Corrado from about 2000 to 2003. Loved the car, hated the maintenance bills-- cost a lot to keep on the road. Lived in fear of the G-charger self-destructing, as so many did after 120-150Kkm-- instantly turning the nimble beast into a poorly aspirated 1.8L plodder until you can pony up the three grand for a new one.
The VR6 model was really the Corrado's best form.
I had an old G-60. I loved it! It had some of those Volkswagen issues, but it was a blast to drive and just a beautiful car. With a Neuspeed suspension and Momo IDEA rims, it was sweet.
I got a vr6 why do i hear the fan running once i turn the car off for a little bit i know it cools it down but i never hear this on any other car ( some crazy german thing im guesing?)
@devilman76017 - lol. You'll find many cars do that, it has more to do with operating temperatures; the Corrado's engine bay is quite compact so there's not much breathing space or air flow in there; so it runs a little hotter than other cars. There are other factors, but suffice to say it's not necessarily a german only thing.
@devilman76017 yea alot of audis have the same thing. smart engineering for the time. cars nowadays dont need it so much because the metals used to make engines can release heat rapidly and heat up slowly.
It did quite often with my Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi 8v Phase 1 (N reg 1996). However my W 2000 reg 16v version of the exact same car does not do this, as the temps never get high enough to trigger the fan.
Really? i heard the exact opposite, but i have heard of coil pack problems on the VR6, my one runs fine, only problem i have is my ignition barrel keeps breaking.
Haha! My fav vw model of all time and my dad owns a g60 and i have a vr6.. Awesome car and is still amazing! Also, the guy did not close the hood properly in this vid.. Stupid.. haha
Mad, this was before even Captain Clarkson joined top gear! Unbelievable that Tiff was there a year before him! lol. U think of clarkson as the eternal representative figure of top gear
well why do you think people watch top gear over fifth gear, even that bird on fifth gear used to be on top gear, top gear will always be better than fifth gear in my opinion
true but they are different now top gear is basically james richard and clarkson mucking about thats why everyone watches it where as fifth gear does some proper reviews
god damn that looks dangerous... i hope it doesnt look like that when i corner...actually i could feel the lift in the rear in my jetta before i got lowering springs now its more prone to sliding and then the torque pulls it out from the apex really quite balanced feeling
the corrado has always been sortof soft...I've owned a VR6, and still never really understood what the fuss was about. It is a hell of a good looking car though
The Corrado is a classic. A lot of VW cars lift a rear wheel at hard cornering, forexample Golf GTI Mk 1 and 2 but nevertheless they remain stabile in their behaviour.
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight
yep, Tiff were on it for years, along with Chris Goffey, Quentin Willson and Jeremy Clarkson were all on top gear. Clarkson quit around 1999, Top Gear went crap, was axed in 2002. Clarkson came back with the new format and Tiff etc all went off to fifth gear.
Me and my very clever brother share a regular 2.0l model, stunning car always gets the nod from passers by, but I think that's more due to the fact the 2.0l was removed in favour of the 1.8 turbo Audi s3 unit rewarding this car with the heart it deserves!!!

You'll find many cars do that, it has more to do with operating temperatures; the Corrado's engine bay is quite compact so there's not much breathing space or air flow in there; so it runs a little hotter than other cars. There are other factors, but suffice to say it's not necessarily a german only thing.

@devilman76017 yea alot of audis have the same thing. smart engineering for the time. cars nowadays dont need it so much because the metals used to make engines can release heat rapidly and heat up slowly.

It did quite often with my Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi 8v Phase 1 (N reg 1996). However my W 2000 reg 16v version of the exact same car does not do this, as the temps never get high enough to trigger the fan.

Go with the VR6 1992-1995 .
CorradoStyle77 2 years ago 3
you'd want the late 1993 onwards cos they have no distributor, much more relaible cos of it.

Umm NO, the late VR's with the coil pack are much less relaible, they had more problems than the Dizzy!!!
icpninja420 2 years ago
Really? i heard the exact opposite, but i have heard of coil pack problems on the VR6, my one runs fine, only problem i have is my ignition barrel keeps breaking.

well why do you think people watch top gear over fifth gear, even that bird on fifth gear used to be on top gear, top gear will always be better than fifth gear in my opinion
Nick4Gaming 2 years ago
true but they are different now top gear is basically james richard and clarkson mucking about thats why everyone watches it where as fifth gear does some proper reviews

god damn that looks dangerous... i hope it doesnt look like that when i corner...actually i could feel the lift in the rear in my jetta before i got lowering springs now its more prone to sliding and then the torque pulls it out from the apex really quite balanced feeling

I remember when cars used to handle like that. It looks almost scary these days as it bounces round but in those days it was top class.

The Corrado is a classic. A lot of VW cars lift a rear wheel at hard cornering, forexample Golf GTI Mk 1 and 2 but nevertheless they remain stabile in their behaviour.

drifterXL 2 years ago
yep, Tiff were on it for years, along with Chris Goffey, Quentin Willson and Jeremy Clarkson were all on top gear. Clarkson quit around 1999, Top Gear went crap, was axed in 2002. Clarkson came back with the new format and Tiff etc all went off to fifth gear.
