A guy i knew from years ago met up with me recently.

Told him I owned a GN & currently a Limited.

He claims his 91 4cyl supercharged VW G60 corrado Faster than a GN.

I am guessing maybe at top end but no way from dead stop.

Anybody know about these cars?
 
Maybe.....if it was heavily modded. Back in the 90s there a few out here roaming around that would boogie. For a 4 cyl it does have b*lls down low.
 
I did an entire english report on the G-Ladder superchargers and VW twinchargers. for a 4banger, they have some decent low end torque, but the TR's have a bit more low end and none of that torque steer thats common on "modified" FF drivetrains.,
 
I'm a vw guy, I like them, but the answer is NO. It is that easy. No, they are not faster stock, and even lightly modded vs a stock GN.
 
I had a G60 (4 cyl supercharged)... it was a turd.

I am sure modified it could be made fast... mine wasnt :)
 
The G60 I rode in wasn't fast compared to anything! They are cool looking cars, but even the VW guys would usually rather have the non-boost VR6. Also, VW guys are VERY brand loyal and often don't like anything non-VW (I had alot of VW friends and just got used to them saying delusional things).
 
The guy said he had underpully & some add on injector.

I think like a 7th injector on our cars.
 
Here is an extreme case of a fast Corrado. The guys that I knew back in the day were running 11s @ Battle of the Imports in Palmdale. If you have enough $$$ anything can be fast.

the only corrados that I know are fast are ones with turbo VR6's or 1.8t swaps. Other than that you should be faster than him
 
My brother in law has one... He thought it was fast until I gave him about 1/2 throttle in my mostly stock GN on the Blvd. It was almost funny watching him try so hard. So the answer would be no, they are not as fast as a GN stock. Actually, they just arent fast period.

I should add that the car isnt a complete loss by any means. Extremely nice interior, and the car handles fairly well. I would say it handles waaay better than a stock GN:D

Really almost 6K posts and you ask a ?? like that.......repeat after me

there is not and never will be a 4banger or V6 faster than a GN --period:p
you should have all your posts taken away..:smile::smile::eek:
 
They are turds i've worked on a few (i'm a vw tech) and the g60 corrados were the worst of the bunch imo the VR6 was a better engine and with a turbo or SC they could be made to fly but in no way on god's green earth was a stock G60 faster than a stock GN and they were like 30k back then so not cheap at all for the day
 
there are 2 up @ NED on Import days. one high 11s and the other low 12s. I spoke to the guys and they said they ran a few times on street nights (wed/fri). They said stock Buicks were no problem . :p

See I knew Grumpster would know the answer. :cool: I am still mad that day Millisa took my TURD trans Am out at NED. Pre GN days..

All I remember seeing was a girlie driving a Black turbo regal and her dad coaching her & then her tail lamps. I think the run was a high 11 sec to 15.30 :eek: I was spanked & could not wait to get a GN.
 
well to add some more humor here Melissa had a friend who had a VW something... I forget what the hell it was BUT I wasn't impressed with his "talk" . She took the kid and his father for a ride in her car .. They couldn't talk after their little blast down the highway :eek::p People really don't have a clue when it comes to a 20 year old G body !! :biggrin:
