93 Corrado VR6(not a race) Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 03-16-2010 @ 00:48:43 Reply | Edit Anyone ever run one of these? Kid I know has one and claims 240hp, 2nd gear to 90, pegging the 140mph speedo real quick blah blah. Anyone with experience with one of these?

 Posted By: DJ_B_Howie On: 01-26-2006 @ 02:43:55 Reply | Top | Edit Those things can be modded pretty easily and effectively. They had something like 170 hp, V6, DOHC. A guy from my school had one, it was quick. It whooped up on my old 3.4, but that's no suprise. The VR6 is considered the best VW engine, performance and reliability wise. If its modded, watch out. Even stock, I'd say probably mid-high 15's. --

Check out my car at http://www.cardomain.com/id/chazgotaz28 Posted By: RS31 On: 01-26-2006 @ 15:38:00 Reply | Top | Edit i know that. i was referring to that the gears are even longer then my car... so about 200 mph. im sure they are MAYBE geared to only 150 or so at best. 170 horses is not enough to get to 200. hell 300 at the wheels for me isnt enough for 185. i bet the thing tops out at 140 due to no more power -- Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 01-26-2006 @ 16:54:59 Reply | Top | Edit If you guys looked on a car stat website or something you probably only found the G60. I know htat's all I could find. He says it came with 240 stock. I figured it was pretty unlikely for 90 in second unless he had loooong ass gears. I can't understand why they arent on stat websites. When I looked on forums there were responses saying from low 14's mid 14's mid 15's etc. 
I wanna race him either way, I just don't believe it'll peg 140 "real quick" like he says. Dan -- || 30th Anniversary Camaro 3800II A4 || Silver Sixxers! || See My Baby

Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 01-26-2006 @ 18:15:18 Reply | Top | Edit Yup I am tending to think he is full of shit. He's a nice guy though. I checked up on other VR6's from 10 years newer and they are still a second slower than my car. Granted it could be fast but he has little to nothing done but higher rev limit.

MODS: SLP CAI,// DIS-4// 180 Thermo Posted By: mooringws6 On: 01-27-2006 @ 00:18:11 Reply | Top | Edit i had a vw passat 2.0 slow off the line ,but on highway i coundnt beleive it hit 140. that vr6 is a heck of a motor Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 01-28-2006 @ 17:37:56 Reply | Top | Edit I asked a random VR6 owner on Autotrader. 
He said the Vr6 was a 2.8 Liter 178hp engine.

Displacement is 2.8 and they are quick little cars, they only weigh like 3000 pounds. Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 02-02-2006 @ 00:20:29 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah I don't kno wwhy he tries to tell me his motor is different. Two motors were available in that car. I found out that yeah ^^^ the SLC has the VR6. I'll race him and probably win to the 1/4 mile. I know he'll spin too. Cocky lying lil chump.

Posted By: IROC2fast4u On: 06-22-2006 @ 14:39:11 Reply | Top | Edit STFU guys! IROCs are NOT that slow! I hit a 14.9 @ 92 w/ a basically stock 305 TPI. THe later ones (91-92) have seen some 14.7s but mostly high 14s. Granted, the earlier ones were a lil slower (mid 15s, low 15s), but I'd think they could still take a Corrado. I know I took one. . . ?
Depends on stock/mods, etc. . . but don't dog the 'ROC!  --
