RE: Should I buy a Corrado SLC???

["Ng, Kevin" <Kevin.Ng@bankofamerica.com>]

To me, the only reason not to get one is reliability. The Corrado is truly a
love/hate thing.

Cripes, can we get off this FWD vs RWD business? Bill, ever watch the
Speedvision series? I wonder why the Realtime Racing Acura Type R's keep
kicking the shit out of the BMW's...

	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?
