VR6 Dilemma...
« on: 06 February 2011, 17:31 »
Hi all, i know this may be the wrong area to ask  :laugh: but i think ill be swapping my Vectra Gsi for a VR6.
The problem is, which should i go for? The Mk3 or a Corrado?

Not sure if the power difference would be enough to warrant getting a coupe over the golf, but having said that im a 6 cylinder lover and do like a bit of power :D

If anyone can shed some light on the differences in the engines it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Mike

Corrado ftw....will be worth more than the Golf all day long. Although the Golf's are a nice piece of kit as well  :wink:

No disrespect to the Corrado and their owners, it's a fine motor but i think you'll always be a bit better off with a Golf variant if you look on a wider perspective, and when it comes down to it you tend to be glad of those general moments when they arise..

I would keep the Vectra.

The Vauxhall engine is a much better package than the VR6.

Sorry but Vauxhall V6 has more power, no cam chain to worry about and is a lot lighter so they do not understeer as much.
