One was a 93 SLC Corrado with neuspeed and bilsteins. A black one with black leather. . . a great car. Before I bought my Crossfire I actually looked for an SLC low mileage stock survivor. The Crossfire just by being rear wheel drive is quite different from any VW. You are very luck to own both! Although . . . if I owned both of your cars with title in hand I would sell them to buy a low mileage well maintained 20 year old 911. . . No offense intended
Oh yeah, love the pic's!!!
I can't argue with anything you said! And clearly you speak from experience! I'm glad that I'm not the only person who enjoys VWs around here, even if other brands are a better fit at a particular point in time---cue the crossfire! It's funny, I guess it;'s because I've been on vortex so long or maybe that I still own the corrado, but I posted pics of the crossfire and the corrado together in the corrado forum on vortex, expecting a complete meltdown (it happened last year when another ex corrado, now ex crossfire owner suggested similarities between the two cars) and it actually turned out to be rather benign.
What's funny is that there seem to be a lot of closet crossfire fans out there. I guess it takes a special breed to person to actually own one? Or is it the other way around?
I agree with your statement about the 911, but I wouldn't want to deal with the maintenance. I breifly considered a used boxster instead of crossfire, but that midengine placement and porsche badge=$$$$$$ At least more than I can justify. The Z4 coupe and crossfire, IMO, are the only two realistic sports cars on the market. Neither require special maintanence or have an unsual and pricey layout. As a daily, there has to be some level of practicality!
