    You guys do understand that when towing weight is put on the rear wheels? That is why a fwd isn't good at it because weight transfers away from the drive wheels. And those things you call suvs are just cars with a lift. When you are towing with it your Corrado is less agile and could be dangerous in heavy rain or in the event of a high speed manoeuvre. Simply put the Corrado was not designed to tow, and although you can tow with it, it is less than ideal.

    James. you're thinking about it too hard... I used to tow a double jetski trailer for years with my MKII Scirocco (probably before you were born ). This was on a sheer bumper hitch. There is not much tongue weight and we aren't talking about pulling a bobcat trailer.

    The best part was hearing the turbo spool when pulling the trailer out on a boat ramp and seeing heads turn

    You guys are getting pretty old maybe you should haul around some extra vital organs in a trailer just in case.

    Who needs vital organs when you have forged internals

    Any vehicles handling is compromised when you put a trailer behind it.

    weekend bump..!

    I think we need to have a Corrado GTG next year.. i think, it gives everyone enough time to get there cars situated or running for next years show. trailered or driven, its all about having fun, a few good drinks in the process of it and actually meeting some of the corrado guys/gals in person.. LETS make it happen....!! i know its easier said than done, but we do have 12 months to prepare for it....

    oh yeah, hopefully i have my car all done by than too..lol..
