Thanks again from the bottom of my heart to Misha for making it possible to me and everyone else to see what this car looks, sounds and performs like on the Ring, on what I tried to make an OEM+ build. Though after seeing the lap on video, being able to compare to other cars, I now realize the tires are proper sh** 😄 Oil temp reached 134° C on our last wet lap, so I requested to take it easy on the uphill part, which I later regretted.

It's kind of cool when the owners ask not to take the carousel and curbs.. It means - for him it's not just a tin can with bolts and nuts.

Old gen VR6 reason why I fall in love with cars. When I was 12 dad bought passat b4 with 2.8VR6
That sound was something else… ❤

Man, around 2003, I bought a G60. I got it for $500!!! An old man that I worked with around that time kept telling me about it. He just kept saying I got a car I wanna sell its a turbo ...its a turbo. After months of him bugging me, I went to his house, and man, when he opened the garage, I instantly fell in love with that car❤. Nice green color, no dings or dents. The only things it needed were an alternator, battery, oil change, and spark plugs. I was the only one in pasadena at that time that had a G60.

Very nice video, Misha! I am also a lucky owner of 2.9 190hp corrado in midnight blue pearl! What a piece of machine!

[Hardys-Mods]

Those Corrados look so damn good in real life!

Im coming from east germany and sometimes far away from the big citys u will see small repair shops having
pretty much prestine conditions corrados and GTI's standing around.

Beautiful cars!

Love the Corrado VR6 one of Volkswagens most unique cars

[RMcG]

Nice to see a cruising lap. A pleasant change. Well done!

An old friend of mine had a G60 and a VR6, both were in a state of disrepair and gathering rust. When he eventually got the VR6 roadworthy I remember going for a drive in it, the thing was an animal! Don't know if he'd modified it, but the power/torque delivery was instant. I was driving a BAM engined Audi TT at the time and he was stuck to my rear bumper like glue when we went for a spirited drive on the back roads.

I loved the lines of that model when it was released. The VR6 sounds excellent!

[taforth]

I had a 1994 Corrado VR6 from new (for 12 yrs). I had done similar mods, including a set of track tires. It was a very enjoyable car, that punched well above its weight on track. And that engine 🎶!!

For an old girl they are still one of VW’s best ever cars and one of the first I saw with an active rear spoiler. The Storm was awesome and I had friends with G60’s ( supercharged 1.8). One had a Scirocco GT2 that was a lovely car too. I do love a classic!

[bobbyswain]

In 2000 I was drooling over the VR6 Corrado but at 20 years old it was out of my price range. The G60 would've been nice too but the VR6 was my 1st pick. I loved the chiseled lines it has, how the spoiler went up at 40mph and I really liked the headlights and taillights. Thanks Misha and to the owner for bringing me some fond memories of a car I wish I had:D

[RDSAlphard]

VW's VR6 & Volvo's 5-cyl both have very unique sounds, especially with tastefully modified exhaust, it's absolutely glorious!

[HTFUR]

Good to see Corrado content, they are great cars and good on you @stoneeh for keeping this one in fine fettle.

I have one too, I would recommend 263 cams (nice extra bit of midrange and top end, 220hp & 216 ib ft torque (190hp/180ib/ft stock) and a Mocal oil cooler but otherwise you already have perfection.

[Leehuss]

Over 270k in odometer and the Coro looks like it's in mint condition

Such a good looking classic german car

[tylerpalmer]

VR6s are just special. Nothing really sounds like them. They're so steeply angled, they're nearly an inline. Very cool engines.

In all my VW days I never owned one with a VR6, but kinda wish I had.

[CorradoVRz]

Finally, I had a Corrado VR6 for 11 years, by far my favorite car. A VR6 with cams and a lightweight flywheel does pretty nicely, upgraded cooling system, suspension and brakes, oh I miss that car.

[ricardow]

I've had two Corrado's, both G60.. Loved them! Always had issues and spent most of the time repairing them, but those are still the cars I enjoyed the most. Even now, when I'm able to afford more expensive cars, nothing comes close to the fun of a Corrado
