haha, yep
Corrado guys? slow? good oneOriginally Posted by NoName
I still think that MK3 is much better then MK4.
If that was MK3 with few bolt ons you would have big time trouble.
i dont think if this guy had a few bolt ons i would of been in any troubleOriginally Posted by DominikM3
I know a guy that pulled 14.1-14.2 in his 98 mk3 with chip, intake, exhaust, 268 cams. Now he got nice turbo in it and runs low 11's
hehe...we don't think we knowOriginally Posted by NoName
nah but seriously the corrado vr6 is faster/lighter then the mk3...i ran a 14.4 w/ chip/intake/exhaust (aluminum flywheel, aluminum crank)...spinning in 1st,2nd, and 3rd...w/ cams and tires i'd like to see 13s...they aren't e46 fast but w/ some mods they can definitely hang w/ e36

You must have been racing on wet leaves...
I'm not debating the fact that your car is quick, but you aren't spinning through all those gears. Plus, if you were there is no way you'd get a 14.4 spinning your tires in all three gears.
Anyway,
VR6 guys think they are fast in general, yes. I'll agree with that. But for what they are (a vw) they are fast. I don't think any vr6 owner thinks they are faster than an e36 m3...Just b/c they want to race your bimmer doesn't mean they think they are faster, I mean...he could just want to see how much slower he is???

*spinning in gear...not spinning THROUGH gears* big differenceOriginally Posted by Nater
i don't really understand it either cuz i know alot of my mk3 friends can't spin 3rd...my friend 'vw thunder' has a s/c vr6 but he has quaife and can't spin em...this has ALWAYS been w/ like no name tires...but i can usually do 3rd w/o much trouble and have already done 4th its not a matter of like i can do it no one else can cuz i've done 3rd in my friends gti vr as well...
just for some info i have a time slip from that day of me running a 14.7 at 89mph...w/ a 2.5 60ft cuz of all the spinning...
anywho...yah i think if i saw an m i'd try to race it not just cuz i thought i was faster only cuz it seems like the only car thats kinda worth racing...its another flat 6 we like to pair up w/...its more fun then anything

The mk4's are significatly heavier than the mk3's. I have a mk3 vr6 gti and have beaten the 172hp and the 200hp mk4s by several car lengths. I've also beaten brand new 330xi's by a couple car lengths too. You probably raced the 172 heavier mk4 gti. My car can't really be called slow when you are comparing it to an e36 m3...the speed difference is not that much.
And about what IceRado said.....yes he did run a 14.4 and yes he did spin in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.....I have video of him doing so....so if you guys need proof then gimme a couple of days and i can get you some.
if it were a mk3 or corrado vr6 with a few bolt ons...yes...you would have some trouble beating him

not saying my cars insane...but if i did race one it'd be all about the driver...the biggest advantage we have is probably weight...where as a corrado only weighs about 2800/2900 w/ driver...and i've got a decent amount of mods done too so it would be close...i'll have to come down to philly one time u take me in the toureg i'll give yah a ride in the radoOriginally Posted by Grk M Power

Nice Kill man, I remember racing a 174hp Golf in my Corolla one time, he had a total of 5 pasengers and I had 2 [including drivers] I had him about a 1/4 of a car length up until the top of 2nd, then it was all over once I hit third, he started to really walk on me then...those things are pretty quick, so good job man.
Current Car: 2020 X3 M40i
BMW's owned
2002 330 ci (my first BMW)
2011 128i (purchased as a CPO on 11/15)
2017 X3 Xdrive28i (purchased new for wife on 2/17)
my favorite quote:
C&D July 08
Every other manufacturer should give up on building their own cars and just make M3s instead.
my corrado g60 turbo hangs dead even at 120mph with a modded e36 m3. i made 190whp , 215trq at the wheels....im also running 3.94 fianl drive, so we couldnt race past 130mph... we go to the same mechanic , i belive his mods were lightweight flywheel , exhaust , and intake

i'm not gonna say mine is a ton lighter...but its mos definitely lighter i can assure u that...here are some weights i found...but don't necessarily believe...btw i have canadian spec so mine doesn't have autobelts or kneebars...which add alot of weightOriginally Posted by COSMOSIS

VR6
92' 2800
93' 2810
94' 2852
its hard to say cuz a gti is said to be 2811...and i can't see a corrado weighing more...but nonetheless i know mine is lighter...only cuz i've removed alot of stuff...i think next time we hit the track we'll definitely be hittin the scales to find out the real story...NO one seems to really know

Don't worry, I shall turbo again...
