jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Ouch..... im feeling wounded. I know the corrado is fast but no use pretending its a match for the common day sports car... Going along minding my own business..... M3 CSL comes past me but gets stuck behind a lorry, i pull out behind the CSL and wait for the lorry to move over, thus leaving the path open to chase the CSL........it left me like i was going backwards :cry: i want a new car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted February 13, 2004 You'll be telling us Ferraris, Porsches and the like are quicker too no doubt. :wink: VWs are cool not fast it just so happens the Corrado has loads of one and a fair bit of the other 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6corrado 0 Posted February 13, 2004 The M3 CSL is supercar quick, I wouldn't describe it as a 'common day sports car!' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 13, 2004 maybe not.... still depressing though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 13, 2004 The M3 CSL is supercar quick, I wouldn't describe it as a 'common day sports car!' Absolutely not when it's about £20K dearer than the regular M3! Takes into 911 territory and according to those in the know, it's a worthy rival for the base 996..... Carbon roof and bumpers, thinner glass, no soundproofing etc is all fine and dandy on the track but I like my creature comforts :lol: Nowt to be depressed about mate....I've been blown away by an XR2! But I happened to find out afterwards it was gutted and had a tuned RS Turbo motor under the bonnet.....so didn't feel too ashamed after that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted February 13, 2004 I wouldn't be downbeat about getting beaten by an M3 CSL... I mean ffs - a regular M3 is like what, £40k from BMW - a CSL is even more thanks to stuff like the carbon fibre roof. Comparing a £40k car to a £4k car.. well.. what do you expect!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted February 13, 2004 I look forward to comming up against a BMW M3 CSL..hopefully I'll be able to put in a good name for corrado's..hhehehe 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 13, 2004 If it's an consulation Jedi....an M3 also left my mates 280bhp import Impreza for dead too.....and it wasn't even a CSL.....they are seriously quick cars. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowG 0 Posted February 13, 2004 how about puting a turbo in the VR, with about 10k you can beat an m3 cls,imagine the looks on the m3 owner :lol: , iv never seen a cls but they do go fast and most important handle well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 13, 2004 Well we've seen in a different thread that a turbo'd VR can give 470lb/ft torque, which would dispense with any M3 quite easily!! You don't even need that to be honest, PhatVR6 has an NA VR that pulls 13.75 1/4 mile and I believe there's a few in the states that are even quicker.....the CSL M3 does it in 13.2 secs....

LowG 0 Posted February 13, 2004 yes but we are talking here for a standart corrado vr6 not one striped naked,with a good turbo system and some good traction it wont be a problem wasting most cars on the road, there are vr turbos runing 9 sec 1/4 mile :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted February 14, 2004 the M3 CSL is not just another tarted up BMW thats meant to be fast its actually a very fast car.......... dont fuckk around with one unless u got some serious power,,,one of my mates had a run in with one in his GT2 Porsche lol was sorta close for a while apparently :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Yep BMW wouldn't bother using those three little letters CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) without good reason, that is one seriously quick car, a standard VR aint got a chance against one of those babys I'm afraid. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted February 14, 2004 would like to see a modified VR6 getting past one unless its heavvy-ly modified Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted February 14, 2004 not sure about the CSL, but my old mk2 golf VR6 could keep up with a new M3 up to 120mph. they're not that quick you know, it's a heavy car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
