I did loads to it. As far as capris go it was very capable meaning still shite!
Big engine Capri, very cool, 3.9 must of been dramatic! I got a bit bored with the Corrado, ended up fitting a diesel gearbox to lower the wheel torque and get some traction. I decided rear wheel power was the way to go after I sold it. I think this car is faster to 90mph and a lot more fun but after that the aerodynamics of the corrado wins, it would happily cruise at 150mph, allegedly!

Speed isn't king in my mind anymore and acceleration is, plus you don't go to prison for accelerating too quickly! lol

p.s. I haven't been to prison!
