I'm 18 and the corrado was my first car, my dad and I found a broken down one and restored it as a father son project. She's is so much fun to drive. Still one of the best handling cars I've ever driven. And that exhaust note is just 🤤

i like how every episode is just making fun of alex’s life choices.

Alex: “so you want a VW corrado”
Me: “I think I want a VW corrado....”

I have a 1987 16V scirocco with 140, 000 original miles on it. My dad gave it to me. My wife wants it gone but the Rocco holds a special place in my heart !

I had a 93 VR6 in my 20s. It was always broken, was expensive to insure, parts were expensive and it rode rougher than a skateboard. Worst of all, girls didnt even know what it was.

But I felt like MFing James Bond behind the wheel of that car. Totally worth it.

My dad has vr6 corrado behind his workshop hasn’t used it in years only just Put a cover on it he said I could have it one day honestly can’t wait

[M.R.]

Corrado remains to this date (2024) a stunning car.

[Spoons]

Best looking car ever, 15 years later I am still kicking myself for passing on a VR6 with a warped head for 3K$.

Great video although I teared up when you said the VR6 should be the one to buy. We have a 1990 G60 that is a head turner everywhere we take it. Lucky enough to have purchased it before the price spiked. Previous owner had rebuilt engine and supercharger so felt confident it would bring us joy before any major work needed to be done. It is more tun to drive than our 2017 Boxster S.

a Video about a VR6 Car and not even a single time the Sentence " Turbo it" dropped... VR6 is basicly Bulletproof til 500HP on stock internals. In Germany its the Counterpart of the LS engine, its Dirt Cheap, Reliable and can Handle Power easy.

Corrado have them,
Marketing,
Now you own a Formula 1 car"

I will build another Rado some day. This video brought back a lot of memories. Great video guys.

I have a 1991 VW Corrado that I have owned since 1994 & my factory original G60 that is modded with the Neuspeed HP kit amongst other bolt-ons that bumped the boost up to about 15 to 16 psi gave me 140, 000+ reliable miles until I noticed a small crack on the Displacer at which time I stopped driving it to avoid it grenading, got it serviced with a new displacer, but the supercharger was still working & putting out about 12 to 13 psi at the time I stopped driving it. BTW, my rear wing still works perfectly, but I will admit my sunroof is starting to do funky things. It's simple, take care of the car, service it regularly & you shouldn't have any issues aside from the normal wear/tear items & I constantly take my cars on spirited drives, I don't baby them at all. I will say this: I love this car more than all the modern VW's that I currently have in my stable, can't wait to get it back on the road.

I’ve had 3 corrados, I need one more!

This is a long post, but if you’re new to the G60 it might be worth it to read this. The biggest thing worthy of a mention about the Corrado G60, was that most G60 owners never serviced the G-Ladder as the manufacturer recommended. The side seals were supposed to be replaced every 60, 000 miles, the internal timing belt for the G-Ladder displacer and eccentric shaft is supposed to be replaced at 30, 000 miles. 95% of the problems with the G-Ladder had more to do with the actual owners rather than the cars themselves. Those who do their services as they were supposed to be done, would probably never experience a supercharger failure. Those who didn’t, blew them up and blamed VW. That said the most common things I’ve seen lead to failure are:
Failed secondary displacer drive belts (which can damage the displacer and the case)
Incorrectly installed side seals (which can damage the displacer)
Improper modification (porting the housing and displacer to the point where the displacer cracks or becomes damaged due to resonance at high rpm)
Cage Bearing failure (from infrequent oil changes)
Over speeding (This can be caused when using both the larger spec displacer eccentric shaft and the smaller pulley to produce more boost.)
Foreign object damage (the Supercharger swallows something and the magnesium displacer and Aluminium supercharger Cade become damaged as a result.

For those who didn’t feel like servicing their superchargers every 30, 000 miles or two years, the best bet is to remove the G-Ladder altogether, and convert to a traditional roots style blower like an Eaton M45 or M62 or BBM Motorsports offers a nice Twin Screw Supercharger, that just flat out screams. I like the G-Ladder. I’ve owned 3 Corrado G60’s and never had a supercharger failure, but I’d be lying if I told you that the G60 was a low maintenance item. The key to keeping them alive is proactive routine supercharger maintenance at 30k and 60k intervals which really requires the supercharger to be removed, dismantled, inspected, the appropriate parts replaced and reassembled. I also recommend using a BBM Motorsports rebuild kit with the wide secondary displacer drive belt-

G60's are friggin awesome. I can testify.

[pacogutierrez]

i have a 1990 vr6 swap corrado and i love it its soooo fun to drive and when u drive it u get a thumps up for sure

[peterkalos]

My cousin had a G60 back in the day with a stage 3 supercharger kit. That thing use to ball out. Beat a 2005 Camaro SS (345hp) top end to 120 by like 3-4 cars. It was a blast to drive

[dercorradog]

I have a vr6 corrado in my driveway, right now!:)
