Should I get a Corrado VR6 or a Mkv Rabbit?

personally i would weigh odds... b/c a new low mileage 2.slo goes for under 500 so... boosting that would be CHEAP!!!!... your talking 3k for new motor + turbo setup. vs. 3k for car alone.

buy a 2.slo build it then boost it... save yourself payments.

Oh no lol I wouldn't have to make payments on a rado, I can pay cash. I absolutely hate the ABA engine! lol

but see thats the thing you pay cash for the vr6 and then you gotta come up w/ more money to work on it.... you could of boosted your aba at this point.... the 2.1L kits for aba output between 150-170whp depending on setup then you go BOOST and your easily run 300+whp on a bullet proof motor.

The sad thing is, I can't see him wanting that much power.

Well, I never do any engine work to my cars, and the only engine I've built before is an old air cooled Beetle engine.

I am just about the only person that believes that there is such a thing as too much power.

180-250hp is about all you need in compact cars depending on the car's weight. With older cars you don't get traction control, so anything higher than that will have way too much wheelspin to be driveable.

if thats all you want why are you trying to swap from a aba? i would stick w/ the aba...

1) its cheaper
2) you can get those numbers NA(under 3k), Supercharged(under 1500), Turbo'd(under 3k)...
3) its more impressive then getting a NA vr6
