it would take quite a lot....

 

Whenever I see one of those Maserarti's in the flesh I'm always slightly dissapointed......in pictures they look amazing but in real life the body seems to dwaf the wheels which makes it look at odds :scratch:

 

I went in one of those a few weeks back. A lot of noise, not very much else happened - my mate was accelerating and it sounded like he was trying pretty hard but in reality a Fiesta was pulling away from us! Tho I guess if he really wanted he could have done it with the 400 odd bhp :lol:

 

I would go for some kind of Porsche or an AC Cobra (replica obviously).

In a breath...

 

A Jensen FF

I know they're regarded as naff to drive and didn't get the engine they were meant too...

 

But I'd still have one:

Possibly a Triumph TR6. Always liked the understated styling - and its a true Brit!

 

 

a bit of German input however,but from our favourite car consultancy company

 

The Triumph TR6 (1969–76) was a British six-cylinder sports car and the best-seller of the TR range built by Triumph when production ended in July 1976. This record was then surpassed by the TR7. 94,619 TR6s were built, of which 86,249 found homes overseas, only 8,370 being sold in the UK.[3]

 

The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and back ends were squared off, reportedly based on a consultancy contract involving Karmann.[4]

Looks like someone has already built my car -

 

Wicked - loved the dicing with the red Ferarri and white Lambo (?) at Brands Hatch. I thought the indy circuit was congested with motorbikes but there is SO LITTLE room with cars.

To be honest I'd swap for plenty of other cars even in the same price bracket I think (nice 3 series, etc) .. just can't be bothered with the heartache of selling both of the Corrado's to achieve it ;)

Good choice! Most of the CSL's goodies but with the correct gearbox!

Yeah it would have to be manual in interlagos blue! Got to love that car and the noise is even better than a vr!

If i won the lottery the first car i would treat myself to would be a ferrari 458 or a mclaren mp4-12c when it comes out (carbon fibre tub ftw!)

Sorry bit off thread but i would swap my 2003 Audi S3 for a nice Corrado (+ cash).

Don't know why you would want to let yours go they are great cars and hope to get one soon.

Seeing as though a Corrado VR6 was one of TWO cars I said I always wanted... I guess I'd swap for the other car... which is this:

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec, in Bayside Blue

 

 

 

I'd also love to have the following cars, but not quite like the C or R34

 

- Audi RS6 Avant

http://www.wallno1.com/data/media/793/2 ... %20006.jpg

 

- Mercedes C63 AMG (quickest I've ever driven, and been driven, in a car)

http://www.zcars.com.au/images/c63-amg-estate.jpg

 

- Porsche 911 (993 GT)

http://8000vueltas.com/wp-content/uploa ... rasera.jpg

 

- BMW M5 (E39)

http://image.europeancarweb.com/f/99677 ... e_view.jpg

 

- Holden HSV Maloo R8 (E Series) [aka Vauxhall VXR8 ute]

http://www.privatefleet.com.au/images/u ... o%20R8.jpg

 

 

Not sure why, but I really really like the idea of high-performance estate cars lol... wish you could get an E39 M5 estate tbh

Personally will not ever SWAP it - buy another car yes, but pretty much made up my mind that I'm keeping it as long as I'm on this planet :) (or it's get to a point it's not salvagable)

 

im the same but thats why i said in the OP that if you "had" to what would it be?? your not allowed to keep yours ok :lol:

 

simples i'd get rid of the original and get this:

Bad picture but this is what has taken all my time and money recently

 

Still keeping the Corrado but enjoying owning this, Bora R32, 270bhp, 4wd, 343mm Alcon brakes, with all the extras

 

My friends even bought me a pipe to keep in the glove box :)

Apart from the ugly front end, I really like Boras. They handle so much better than the Golf.

 

343mm brakes, nice. You can never have too much braking power :D
