SLC= VR6
G60= Supercharged 1.8 liter.
I know a bit about both because I almost bought one before I fell in love with the SVX.
Pros:
Handmade in the Karman Ghia coachbuilder place
Look good
Go fast
Pop up rear spoiler (up at 45mph, down at 25 I think)
Handles AWESOME
Cons:
EXPENSIVE. Parts are almost more nutty than SVX parts.
Unreliable. The G60s are ****. The supercharger, or G Ladder charger, dies after about 45,000 miles. They have electrical gremlins, and problems EVERYWHERE. The SLC is better, but not a whole lot... the VR6 in the corrado is pretty much VWs first attmept with the VR6, so its also maintenence prone. While the VR6 was once VWs performance engine, a stock 1.8T will give one a run for its money, and a CHIPPED 1.8 T will destroy a VR6. Basically, the 1.8T is superior in almost everyway. More reliable, more powerful, less weight, better MPG.
VW Owners are DICKHEADS. Let me repeat:
VW OWNERS ARE DICKHEADS. I went to their forum for a few weeks... talk about pretensious assholes. I'd hate to belong to their group.
ANyway, I'd say get your SVX fixed.
