Surely it wasn't that bad? one of the things that I've always noticed when looking into these is that the handling is universally praised. Maybe at the time it was exceptional but didn't stick out as amazing from where I was sitting. Tyres were good,nothing wrong with suspension,was very boat like,with massive under steer. Its not a conventional v6 either its a smaller version popular at the time that utilises a single cylinder head. So although its a v6 it was cleverly designed and was very easy to work on.

Yep. The Alfa 3.0 Busso V6 from the same era made somewhere between 180 and 230bhp depending on the variant.

The other early 90's coupe on my shopping list at the time, was the Audi Coupe S2(?) quattro. Someone near to me had a pearlescent white one from brand new and I have to say it looked the biz! Obviously more money again than the Corrado at the time. They never get a mention now? Whereas the original quattros (including the later 20v wide body) fetch more than the Cosworths! The original S2 was probably a bit fat, but the start of Audi's mainstream sporty models of today? Fiat Coupe 20VT Alfa Romeo Spider BMW X3

Looked kinda dated but fairly rapid on track. Only saw one in white though. There was even a handfull of RS2's going out.
