deanjames 0 Posted September 23, 2009 so opinions is it worth it going for a storm just for these features are they more desirable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted September 23, 2009 Storms came with heated leather seats as standard aswel, you can probably get a similar spec VR6 for cheaper than a storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted September 23, 2009 There's a full blown guide to Storms in the Exterior section. Many of the items Storms came with as standard such as heated leather seats, CD player etc could be spec'd as options on a standard VR6. Mystic blue was a colour unique to Storms whereas Classic Green wasn't. The BBS alloys were unique to Storms also. I own one because I wanted to (had an original brochure since 1995) but to be honest you pays your money you takes your choice. Corrados are getting to the age where the mantra is condition, condition, condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 24, 2009 Storms have a higher resale value - that's about it. They don't do anything better / different / faster / grippier than any other VR6 :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 24, 2009 ..... The BBS alloys were unique to Storms also....... And 8 million Mk3 Golfs? ;) You could argue the Speedline is more rare :tongue: VR6 owner with a Storm complex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted September 24, 2009 VR6 - I secretly agree. I prefer Speedlines. :shock: However on the subject of alloys I did make sure my daily driver car (Audi Mk2 TT) was spec'd with 18 inch Turbine alloys. Hence happy to pootle around in the Storm on original BBS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deanjames 0 Posted September 24, 2009 I can see why storms are more desirable with only around 500 being made, and IMO with price but the current looks of things storms reach upto 200-500£ more than standard corrados just for the grille badge and surround, part of me would love to have a storm just because the exclusivness desirability of one, but thys 500£ towards a set of coilovers ect. I'm after a vr at the moment have around 3600£ to spend what can I expect to get for my money? I'm expecting upto 108k leather heated seats ect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only prob could you live with a Auto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only prob could you live with a Auto I phoned this guy yesterday he has spent a fortune on this car and says its immaculate :) As you say its an auto and that puts me off.Leccy Recaros are apparently like new!!!

VR6 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Storms are 2mph faster in reverse I reckon we should start putting lots of crazy Storm rumours about (preferably ones that are amost impossible to test/check), so that in a year or so, people actually can't be sure about which ones are true or not :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sprinterVR6 0 Posted September 24, 2009 don't think so - I'm really pushing for leather - but if a vr comes along and ticks 4 of my '5 must haves' boxes then I'd settle for cloth - as long as in pretty good nick of course Was a bit cheeky and emailed 3 very pricey/but mint vr's on P'Heads (all over 4500£!) and enquired would they except low 3's - they all told me to :censored: off We'll see - they'll be begging me like 3dollar hoes nx week :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Storms also cost more to insure being a group higher :( They also take more of your time when you have to explain the differences to interested observers (or lack of) gazillions of times. Other than the uprated ECU and stiffer subframes I can't think of any other differences Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the uprated ECU and stiffer subframes I can't think of any other differences Didnt realise they had uprated ECU and stiffer subframe. Whats been uprated on the ECUs from the 'normal' VRs?
