VR6 Handling

[samm_cvr6 0]

I had a 205 GTI (3 years) also which I have to say was an amazing little car(especially when you'r kicking out 180bhp in a 900kg car!), you can push it round corners easily as hard as the Corrado but it's not as forgiving when it goes,come to think about it, you usually have little idea when it will start oversteering, and mine did! The understeer was also good fun. If I was looking for a similar car now I would go with the Clio Cup. I went in a friend of mine's a few months back, all I can say is OMG! Unlike a lot of small Hot Hatches this thing never runs out of steam, it pulls like a train! The handling is sharp and you can chuck it probably better than anything on the road as it is so light. Careful for the rear end jacking up tho! (no abs!) I think he has tuned his to over 200bhp now so I can't wait to go in it again! :wink:

P.S talking of Rental cars, I was very suprised to find that in a Toyota Yaris 1.0 56mph! can be had in second gear! LOL :lol:

Clio 172/182/Cup's are superb.. would quite happily own one of those. Mate of mine has a standard MK1 172 and that thing really was quite astoundingly quick off line.. really needed a 6th gear for the motorway though as the engine is too noisy at motorway speeds.

I've had quite a few Golfs / Jettas and sciroccos over the years and there is something about the way they handle that gives me a lot of confidence to play with them on the road, especially in the wet. Sliding the RX-7 in the dry is a lot of fun, but it's down right dangerous in the wet.

 

Thats exactly why ive kept my corrado vr6 for over 3 years, it gives me confidence when on the limit and just feels right even in the wet where i can get her to slide around a little bit, also ive owned a few different cars and i dont think the engine weight on the vr really comes into it.
