Thank you for the advice, and I'm sure the buyers Guide will be very useful. I'm going to try and get to both the Prelude and the Corrado on Sunday, but they are 90 miles apart. I'll let you know...

Thx i'll take a good look at the bumper damage, if I go see the Corrado. To answer your question Stan: A standard 2.0 Prelude will do a quarter mile in a rather slow 16s ish. The 2.2 V-tech with it's 220BHP will manage to get under the 15s line. With a bit of tweeking this can have another 1/2 second taken off, bringing to the Porsche Boxster S times. The only Corrado result I've seen was: VW Corrado VR6 190BHP 15.1s But all that being said, I'm after that special something some cars have, not quick 1/4 miles. I used to drive a Honda CRX Del Sol, that red lines at 8000 RPM great fun out the lights with a bike, because your changes come at the same time. lol.

I was expecting a response something along those lines, any help on the buyers guide, and views on the Corrado I gave the auction number for in my first post?

Firstly Ello, I'm very new to your site and forum. I'm in the throws of changing my car, and need something with that special something you can't quite put your fingure one. I have owned a Prelude before a 2.0 standard one, and it was very nice. I changed it for a 325i Coupe BWM E36. The BMW is great fun and a pleasure to drive, however I hate being a BMW driver we all get treated so badly. Also with 14 MPG she's hungry. The BMW is going and I'm not sure weather to go back to the old faithfull Prelude (2.2 V-tech this time) or try something else. I've seen a nice looking Corrado 2.0 16v. Ebay number 320049985815 Just after your thoughts, and I couldn't find the buyers guide if someone can post a link that would be great.
