RE: Need your votes



VR6 Corrado is generally considered higher performance and more reliable, but it will probably break your budget unless you find a good deal. A G60 can be found in good shape for under 6k. Though I don't know, I'm told that you should just PLAN on getting the supercharger rebuilt unless you are 100% sure of the history. They're good reliable engines, generally, but the supercharger can become a giant grenade if the PO hasn't maintained it properly. If it goes, it takes out your whole engine (shredded metal into the intake). You can modify them fairly easily for 200+hp.
 
If you can find a good one, $6k will get you a sweet Mk1 and leave over half your budget for some great upgrades, like suspension and a 2.0L 16v swap. If you really want a "toy", it's the only way to go.

My wife is stealing my Rocco, my prize 88 with 80k miles on it. She says she
wants it and I can go find another. This "other" will be an all out toy. So,
MK1, MK2-16v, or Corrado.
I don't want to spend more than about $6,000 initially. And in the Corrado
Dept. which is better, the G604 or the V6?
