a VR6 engine of similar output and less torque than the audi v6 can power
the corrado to killer performance.. i think what i want is less
weight not more power.. my v8 has 240 bhp but lots of power overcoming
lots of weight doesn't feel as satisfying as less power overcoming less
weight. if only they would build all the cars in aluminium.  

the current v6 90 has rear suspension that is completely redone (and
better) but unfortunately is the cause of most of the car's extra weight
over the previous model. 

the new 90 replacement called the A4 also has significant weight
reductions even though it is made of steel.. it also features
all wishbone suspension for the first time.
