Henny 0 Posted December 9, 2003 One of the first Corrados I remember seeing was a VR6 Twin turbo... :shock: A local guy built it and, BOY, was it quick.... ....until it blew up... :roll: :lol: That one looks lovely and looks like it's been done properly rather than just having Turbos bodged on to the back of the engine like the one I saw had! :? :lol: Nice... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted December 9, 2003 The info on the car claimed about 565 ps ( similar to BHP ask someone more tech minded) i recall and 200 mph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted December 10, 2003 The info on the car claimed about 565 ps ( similar to BHP ask someone more tech minded) i recall and 200 mph just guesstimating here btw.......but 565PS would work out to just over 500BHP but under 565PS...........1PS is just under 1BHP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds a lot. I take it it was taken out to 2.0, cross flow head, etc? What about the gearbox? There's no way an 8V 020 can take 450 brake. The Corrado's traction control is very basic and only works below 30mph. Most people don't even feel it working unless icy. To take the edge off 450+ bhp, you would need a standalone ABS traction control box from Racelogic. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
