So you're looking for reasons NOT to buy the Corrado .. ok, I can help, 
remember what you said originally, that you wanted to get this as a track 
car ... keep that in mind:

1)  It's front-wheel-drive [FWD].
2)  It plows under throttle cause it's FWD.
3)  It's got horrible weight distribution cause it's FWD
4)  It's got torque-steer cause it's FWD (a handful in 1st and second gear 
corners)
5)  It probaby doesn't have the structural rigidity an E30 has.
6)  E30s already have the holes drilled to mount harnesses
7)  BMW transmissions are now, and forever will be, that by which all others 
are compared to.

Is that enough for now or should I keep going?
