A20 LEE 0 Posted February 26, 2006 For the new guys on here this might be the first time you have seen this car ? For the vetrans amoung us we all know this car very well indeed. I feel its the best corrado ever built and having just found a few old pictures of it whilst have a tidy up prompted me to add one here fro discussion! Its certainly a legend, its been surpassed for power, interior, body but as a package its still the greatest. This one predates andre's but never got feature in a UK mag so is pretty unknown.

A20 LEE 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Lee - It just shows how ahead of it the that car was !! **was it called shadow warrior??** It was called dark star. Chrome wheels, smooth roof, totally chrome VR6T engine and built in the late 90's. Those are mods people are aiming for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted February 26, 2006 What year did Andre Kain build his car in its first guise, when it was blue? That must be late 90s too, 98? Any one got pics before it went UPS Brown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted February 26, 2006 So whats the story with the UPS badges or was it just because of the colour? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stone0311 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Seen pictures of it when it was both blue and the UPS brown but never realised it was the same car - looks truely awesome in the UPS colours :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted February 26, 2006 So whats the story with the UPS badges or was it just because of the colour? just the colour i think. Could talk about this car all day, would be nice to see the GT2 wheels ditched and go back to the turbo splits fully polished. http://www.dtm-info.de/nuerburgring/porsche02.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pau1 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Without doubt the daddy of Corrados. Inspired me when i first bought my first 16v 8 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Yep inspired me to get the Porker Turbo splits. Definately will always be the best ever Corrado for me. Whatever people do to theirs, this is the first to do it all so perfectly. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Oooh, what about Bill Schimmel's Corrado? His vr6 got the fastest time for a vr6 in 1998 for 1/4 minle of about 11. something seconds, held it for 2 years only to be beaten by a fully blown drag car! He now also has a Jetta vr6 with 700hp =O ( FWD if I remember correctly ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VeeDub Geezer 0 Posted February 26, 2006 i have to say, i love Jays Raddo... looks so good and must go ok too!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted February 26, 2006 corrado leg-end! as has been said its been surpassed for power and originality, and is a few years old now, but its still one of the best corrados out there. I prefer the porker splits on it, the multi-spokes look too much like a cheaper wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaz g60 0 Posted February 26, 2006 I love the colour on the ups one, but the tailgate mod with the lights moved i'm unsure on , still absolutly lush mad how good brown can look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
