Thanks again from the bottom of my heart to Misha for making it possible to me and everyone else to see what this car looks, sounds and performs like on the Ring, on what I tried to make an OEM+ build. Though after seeing the lap on video, being able to compare to other cars, I now realize the tires are proper sh** 😄 Oil temp reached 134° C on our last wet lap, so I requested to take it easy on the uphill part, which I later regretted.
how much does it weigh?
I think you did a wonderful job with this car. That VR6 sound is just one of a kind.
oil temp is a serious problem when stock, had that car 20y ago and loved it, its an amazing car but in summer the oil reaches 130 degree within a heartbeat its crazy
Heel-toe is next to impossible in that car. It's not just you.
I've seen over 150° oil temp in my VRT. Send it, change it after! 😂
Good job man 💪
Old gen VR6 reason why I fall in love with cars. When I was 12 dad bought passat b4 with 2.8VR6
That sound was something else… ❤
It's kind of cool when the owners ask not to take the carousel and curbs.. It means - for him it's not just a tin can with bolts and nuts.
Don't take it to the track then 😂
@@BernardoCup98Whats so funny?
Misha took the carousel and curb anyway. 😮
@@BernardoCup98 just don’t own a car then
Man, around 2003, I bought a G60. I got it for $500!!! An old man that I worked with around that time kept telling me about it. He just kept saying I got a car I wanna sell its a turbo ...its a turbo. After months of him bugging me, I went to his house, and man, when he opened the garage, I instantly fell in love with that car❤. Nice green color, no dings or dents. The only things it needed were an alternator, battery, oil change, and spark plugs. I was the only one in pasadena at that time that had a G60.
Not turbo…..
heh, that's cute he confused the supercharger for a turbo. Oh well, it's still forced induction.
Oh man, I *WANTED* a G60 so badly, change the supercharger pulley, instant power boost. Tweak the map (*REAL* easy to do on those Digifant ECUs) and get more still.
Those Corrados look so damn good in real life!
Im coming from east germany and sometimes far away from the big citys u will see small repair shops having
pretty much prestine conditions corrados and GTI's standing around.
Beautiful cars!
Or straight up rotting away, already saw a vr6 mk3 thats getting back to its elements 3 kilometers away from my home, and a couple of mk2 gtis and jettas on route to my work, and nobody can save them, they are going to the underground with their owners who wanted to restore them (never had any Motivation to do so yet also not willing to seperate from the cars)
@@eustahijelifetips
Why are you so sadly pessimistic. Don't compare Corrado to Jetta or Golf. Corrado is a very rare car that is starting to rapidly increase in value
@@negan7370 a Corrado is a mk2 golf with a good facelift, just like the golf was with the scirocco, what are you talking about?
@@eustahijelifetips Nobody said it is Ferrari..Usualy I don't argue with people who have such pathetic knowledge of the automotive industry as you do. I will teach you not to embarrass yourself again and not to look like a fool on the Internet. Corrado was assembled almost by hand at the Karman factory. That's why its production was so expensive and so few copies were made. It is built on components from many VW cars, selected so that the result is a wonderful car
The result is a good looking car with poor quality, a weak and incredibly thirsty engine and probably the ugliest interior in a "sports coupe" which the car is by no means, just a coupe
From munich
That car is so well done
Such a good looking classic german car
For an old girl they are still one of VW’s best ever cars and one of the first I saw with an active rear spoiler. The Storm was awesome and I had friends with G60’s ( supercharged 1.8). One had a Scirocco GT2 that was a lovely car too. I do love a classic!
Very nice video, Misha! I am also a lucky owner of 2.9 190hp corrado in midnight blue pearl! What a piece of machine!
Nice to see a cruising lap. A pleasant change. Well done!
Finally, I had a Corrado VR6 for 11 years, by far my favorite car. A VR6 with cams and a lightweight flywheel does pretty nicely, upgraded cooling system, suspension and brakes, oh I miss that car.
I had a 1994 Corrado VR6 from new (for 12 yrs). I had done similar mods, including a set of track tires. It was a very enjoyable car, that punched well above its weight on track. And that engine 🎶!!
VW's VR6 & Volvo's 5-cyl both have very unique sounds, especially with tastefully modified exhaust, it's absolutely glorious!
also the old 5cyl turbos from audi. man, the sound of vr6 and 20v turbo is unbeatable
@@florian8394 Try VR5 :)
Best sounding VW and probably the best sounding v6 ever.
it is not a v6 :/
@@ronironi5993 it is similar though - I think it is worthy to be compared to other v6s
It is a v6. Just with cilinder Banks realy close to each other so close there is only one valve cover etcetera
@@ronironi5993it IS a v6. A narrow angle of 20 degrees v6 with offset pistons is still technically a v6.
Love the vr6 engine and the styling
Yep. This engine sounds better then GT-R
I've had two Corrado's, both G60.. Loved them! Always had issues and spent most of the time repairing them, but those are still the cars I enjoyed the most. Even now, when I'm able to afford more expensive cars, nothing comes close to the fun of a Corrado
No shit! Just remebmered this legend. Also hope that Opel Calibra also will be there some day.
my first sport car ^^ everyone was looking at me everywhere, it's a legendary car
Awesome!
The Corrado is one of of my dream cars too!
Thanks Misha
An old friend of mine had a G60 and a VR6, both were in a state of disrepair and gathering rust. When he eventually got the VR6 roadworthy I remember going for a drive in it, the thing was an animal! Don't know if he'd modified it, but the power/torque delivery was instant. I was driving a BAM engined Audi TT at the time and he was stuck to my rear bumper like glue when we went for a spirited drive on the back roads.
It was my teenage dream car as well. I love the profile, silhouette, the shape. I always dreamed of getting one and converting it to all-wheel drive and twin turboing that VR6
The one VW I genuinely have always wanted to own, absolutely one of the best sounding cars ever made!!
When I was in high school a a fellow student had one and riced the H e LL out of it... Spray painted the doors, dash, instrument cluster, in white and McDonald's red.
I wasn't even a VW guy and I was so offended by it!
@@volvo09 we have to weep for every riced Corrado 😥
Love the Corrado VR6 one of Volkswagens most unique cars
Beautiful day and lovely sky and Misha looks liked he loved every second of it!
Good to see Corrado content, they are great cars and good on you @stoneeh for keeping this one in fine fettle.
I have one too, I would recommend 263 cams (nice extra bit of midrange and top end, 220hp & 216 ib ft torque (190hp/180ib/ft stock) and a Mocal oil cooler but otherwise you already have perfection.
Sport Compact Car cover dream, circa 1998
love the vids of the old cars
sure the fast stuff is cool..
but these older and weirder cars are so cool!
Classic cars sound beautiful
My first car but a 16v🔥
Always fun to see Misha on older cars and I mean it did 220Km/H max speed that's pretty good
In 2000 I was drooling over the VR6 Corrado but at 20 years old it was out of my price range. The G60 would've been nice too but the VR6 was my 1st pick. I loved the chiseled lines it has, how the spoiler went up at 40mph and I really liked the headlights and taillights. Thanks Misha and to the owner for bringing me some fond memories of a car I wish I had:D
love how the spoiler came out....especially bcs of they did this back in the days ....very cool car
Love it. Not uncommon to see 260-280°F for oil temps on a hot track day on a VR6, even with an oil cooler. Lots of right handers are issues with oil pickup and a baffled pan is key. A lot of heat can be mitigated with removal of oil/coolant exchanger.
Long time (20year) owner of a VR6 and it still is one of the most fun cars in the collection.
Great video!
Wait, removal? of the oil heat exchanger would mitigate heat issues? Why?
With the addition of a Mocal oil cooler it runs cooler coolant temps than with it on it. It also removes the potential for coolant/oil intermix. @@Jeff_F7
What a clean Corrado. It was also my dream car, but had no money for it back then and bought Astra GSi c20xe. And one night had a streetrace with VR6 corrado which I won, cause Astra was lighter than stock with modified exhaust and ecu. Damn those were great times. Glad to see cars from proper hothatch era still running beautiful 😍
Had one of these parked outside of my office the other day, and i said this was such an awesome car like 20 years ago. And then i realised it's more like 30 years ago.
Goddamn i'm old :)
I still remember going to the hardware store in 2001, and I saw a Black Corrado VR6 Storm. It became my favorite attainable car as well!
Storm’s were never available in black…
Only green and purrple (burgundy)
Beautiful ride misha charoudin, i mean classic car and it looks and sounds smooth
my favorite 80/90s sports car :)
2:22 active aero spoiler is still working i see!!
And 13:10 😁
I loved the lines of that model when it was released. The VR6 sounds excellent!
Nice to see you finally drive one in the dry. I've had 2 Corrados. Loved them when they worked, hated them when they broke, which was often (cos I drove and modded them hard). But goddam are they fun to drive!
This car is gorgeous 😍 ❤❤❤
I had a 1990 MK2 Golf GTi 16v years ago. It had high lift cams and did 155BHP @ Wheels. On Hot days the oil would get to 115C very quickly with just normal sensible driving. It would hit 140 if you had some fun. VW manual said 70C - 115C was normal. I fitted a Mocal oil cooler and on the hottest days the oil would NEVER get above 95C. Get an oil cooler and Misha will be able to do a full send. Lovely looking car, really like that colour. My golf was red, then pink, then polished to red and repeat. 🤣
its so nice to see a Corrado Vr6 here, i own mine since 2 years, it was always my biggest dream car of my live and im so happy to be possible to own one of it today! 🥳
Nice to see you good mood 👍
great "classic" car with nice mods! Looks like a fun lap!
Gotta love the rimz
Great car! Beautiful sound.
Great video😊 I’ve had a few of these and still have one now, as quick as a cosworth bitd and it’s 30-70 was 5.7 secs if I remember? Find a healthy one and they still go very well today, oh and the sound and steering..
Thx for getting a vr6 corrado on your channel🎉❤💯
I wouldnt call myself a VW/Audi fan but the late-80's GTI's and the Corrado were two cars i really like.
suprisingly fast in above 100km/h speeds comparing to the power it has. nice!
Yep. It's also a great Autobahn cruiser because of that.
my childhood dream car as well. It has aged well. Huge props to the owner.
VR6s are just special. Nothing really sounds like them. They're so steeply angled, they're nearly an inline. Very cool engines.
In all my VW days I never owned one with a VR6, but kinda wish I had.
NEW VIDEO! Lets go, my daily morning routine is to watch your new video!
Rrado is love!
my cousin had a VR6 golf on nineties, very cool and rare car back then at least in my region..
I still have mine :) Got it 1993 VR6 1st gen with a distributor and 12v.
I have the same, made in late 92 sold as 93, with dizzy but the new updated interior.
G-60 was a better car, because I had one. Pulley and ecu remap was 210+ with the remus exhaust. Never did the cam upgrade, it was already a bit much! Nice car, nice drive!
Do love a Corrado.
dream car! Golf II GTI and Corrado are the best still in 2024 and the manual gear
22 years ago i had a Golf VR6 it wasnt the fastest but gosh the sounf was fantastic!
Oddly enjoyable. Had ASMR vibes!
Awesome glad u enjoyed the lap, from the looks of it, the car was very stable in every corners and also performed well...u should have continued to open her up bc those oil temp are always high, they run hot and that 127 deg was nothing....anyway thx for sharing, and i know the pedal are so tiny, not ideal for a big foot driver
Al jaren kijk ik je video's Misha. Bij deze Corrado voor de eerste keer toch een reactie van mij want wauw wat een jeugdsentiment. Als ik naar school fietste als tiener reed er steeds dezelfde vr6 en op een dag haalde hij een tractor in met vol gas. Ik was verliefd. Wat een geluid en emotie. En jawel na een Peugeotje 205 xs werd mijn jeugddroom vervuld met de aankoop van mijn eigen zwart metallic vr6 icm bbs velgen. Elke rit een glimlach, behalve bij het tankstation waar ik mijn zuurverdiende geld aan uitgaf. Zelfs een rondje Nurburgring ermee gedaan, dat was 2012. # petrolheads
Ringtraktor spotted?
Love the sound of the VR6!
Had one in my early 20's. Had a massive smash in it which changed the course of my life unfortunately. I was parked up and an old couple hit me from behind at around 50mph. The handbrake was up and the shunt lifted the back end of the car off the floor and down the road about 20ft or so. It was my dream car too.....i had waited a good few years to find a low mileage clean example.
A lovely car. First time i jumped in my 2 series coupe i said wow how much it felt like the Corrado in the way that u feel like your very low down in the car.
I now need to work on trusting other drivers around me as i still struggle with ptsd from a more recent accident that was eerily simular😢🙄
Ein Traumwagen in einer Genialen Farbe
Love the color.
4:40 the first mr2 spyder i see in a Misha video, you should definitely try one (maybe a 2zz swapped one)
Nice car, makes you smile !
A lad I went to college with had a VR6. crazy Daryl.
Great now I have that Paolo Conte song stuck in my head 😂
In 1990, I bought the first G60 Corrado (also in green) ever to come to the Atlantic provinces of Canada, and looked to ‘upgrade’ to the first VR6 engined Corrado SLC when it arrived. But despite the brilliance of the VR6, the extra weight (more than 400 lbs) and the more luxury suspension tuning (tall like it was on stilts compared to the G60) took away the nimbleness of the more powerful SLC. Too much Luxury at the expense of Sport for the newer Coupe.
That said, it remains one one of the greatest cars I’ve ever owned and I miss it dearly (currently the garage include a 991.2 Turbo, Taycan 4S, and Cayenne EHybrid). 11 years of ownership; 495,000 kms, and not a spot of rust- still the factory beeswax formulated undercoating dripping from vent holes in the hatch when I sold it. Karmann did an amazing job building these cars, and much of the tech was leading edge. If memory serves (correct me if mistaken), the fuel injection system was the same as used in the 911 Turbo of the same timeframe (Bosch Motronic???) for example. R&T declared the G60 the best handling front drive car ever in its first test with a great photo of the magic of the trailing arm: ‘inside rear wheel aloft’. You can see in your video Misha, the car rotating on several occasions, very neutrally thanks to this characteristic - would have been awesome to get some shots trackside at some choice corners.
Kudos to the owner for retaining a largely stock appearance to the car. Loved watching this video, thank you.
Nice car, we never got it here in SA. Did get the Golf 3 VR6 at least. One of the best sounding cars of its time. More bark than bite though..
proof that you can enjoy any type of car on the ring, at any speed. cars are just fun and if you think you need the most power possible you probs don't get it
Phew, not revving into the red’s for once, finally! 😉
I loved the Corrado VR6 & wanted one. Problem: only some years later the Fiat Coupe was introduced
Man, in love with old cars.
Incredible engines.
One of the best looking cars ever made by VW! The Corrado VR6 a true legend! I personally think this car was every car enthusiast's dream when they were younger.. I still want one and will surely build it to be a monster!
ive owned 6 over years and still have a aqua blue vf enginerring chasrger on it for my weeekend toy
well overdue mis-shift to start the season off, in classic misha fashion
VR6 my fav engine ever
Lovely car!
Corrado FTW
Beautiful cars especially in Satin Silver
Full mod list in the comment or video details is VERY nice! Can we make this a habit from now on please?
It's strange not seeing the intro shot in the Apex courtyard....
Very nice car @stoneeh very clean 😎
Thanks m8!
I had Golf VR6, it was my dream car also. BBS rims, metallic black, sunroof. After 2 months of owning it a drunk driver hit me, he had no insurance so i had to sell crashed car.
VW Masterpiece 👌
When I was younger my ex’s dad had one of them people carriers with the VR6 sounded like a plane so of course I had to buy a corridor wasn’t exactly the best daily but it was a very good car though after a custom exhaust sounded amazing
Grüße nach Hollabrunn, großartige Rodel👍
Danke Marcus! Grüße zurück!
270k and still going strong
Still have my Kreg 1992 2litre.....174k on miles, Black still pulls spoiler works head liner heads south..no rust at all...still pulls a crowd from teens at car meets
Someone offered me £18k turned down because my friend has air cooled garage with space for me but I still drive the car...
Got a red vr6 1992 sitting in drive way full cardo vr6 with full karam interior think my callibra 4x4 20 turbo was faster but crashed it in the 1997 years now ono done 6 speed gear ⚙️ box in the 1997 yearer so bought cardo vr6 red got mine at 19 im 48 still in driveway
I'd like one with the 280hp DI VR6 like in the Touareg.. that would liven it up, though stock power is probably fine I imagine.
4:54 nice GT Turbo, i guess rallye prepared, it looks higher that stock with mudguards
Pure condition😮🎉
Did you like the probe gt aswell? I got one, fuel tank is still stock though xD
