so your modified rado is slower than my std 8v gti.... my 1st ever day at the pod i ran a 16.4 (it won't be this time in less than a month - but thats a different story )
the 2.0 16v rado's are 136bhp,and have the 9a engine. but you could stick a rocket engine in a corrado and its still a fuckin corrado-shit-poor mans 968.
As this has turned into a general sl*ging match now, i'll join in. I had this: i now have this: OK, there was a slight handling advantage in the Corrado, but IMO the Golf is a much better all round car, and more fun too beleive it or not. Reflected in the fact that the Corrado lasted 8 months on the drive, and the Golf has been here for 14 months so far and will be here for a long time yet! Edited by: cliveyp
I think who ever has been at the inters will tell you that qtr mile strip was anything but perfect for its purpose It was wett or damp at best and nowhere near as sticky as santa pod Still sticking to my claim that there want be much between mk2 8v and the rado, especially once on the move
Sorry but you're so wrong. Both cars in standard form and the Corrado will get whipped, well and truly!! 136bhp in a car as heavy as a Corrado? You're talking mk3 8v performance, which is blatantly slower than a mk2 8v. You're just blinkered by the word, 'Corrado' mate.
We know your car is the bigest pile of sh*t ever to grace god's green earth but stop sl*ging Corrado ffs Your making mine cry [:^(] Edited by: Mr.LaZy
i'm talking out of experience here, but really cant be ar*ed arguing on m-way speeds there is little difference between them, even mk2 16v not "blinkered" by a corrado at all m8 as i also have 2 mk1-s and a mk2 cos i love them
On the motorway is a totally different kettle of fish though....the Corrado is heavy but once it's rolling with a revvy 16v in it it's bound to a bit better on the motorway than an 8v motor. My point though is that from a standing start (which is what I think the originator of this thread was implying), the Golf will be quicker.
Never done qtr mile in a mk2 8v so i really dont know any figures for 0-60 9 sec maybe? mk2 8v owners, any ideas? dunno why i'm disscusing this to be honest maybe i do have CORRADO blinkers on
