whoa now. it would seem that you all are well versed on the corrado. just to set somthings straight.corrados came with a 158 bhp 1.8ltr supercharged 4 cyl from 1989 to late 91. then came the 2.8ltr VR6 in 92 to 95.

Obviously the kid you raced did not know how to drive. So consider yourself lucky to have won that one. Even a stock g60 can be very quick.

Now ford50forlife a g60 will out handle a vr6 anyday, specifcly becuase of the spring rates and front end weight, about 250 pounds less in the g60. believe me i have both cars and autoX them quite often. I assume you drive a modded 5.0 right? well i have taken many 5.0's in my 1.8ltr DOG. So be wary or you might get bite.
