i Believe the euro models were called "vr6" and the american models were called "slc"
I'm not positive on that, and if i'm wrong, some one will chime and and set me straight

It must be all of the "new Corrado" thread, getting me all worked up. Sorry.

What the US SLC has versus the euro VR6 as far as I know:
- reinforcements in doors and maybe bumper cores(?)
- knee pad on dash instead of shelves
- shorter 50mm front lip instead of the deeper 90mm one
- rear badge SLC instead of VR6
- some models came with rear fog light wired up, some not (or was it just the switch that lacked a second stage for rear fog lights?)
A/C is not too common here in Europe, so you'll find lots of'em without the a/c and big radiator. Weights in at only 2567 lbs...from factory!

the US SLC never received the 2.9 where the euro vr6 did http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

If you look at the data sticker in the Hatch all VR6 Corrado's are called an SLC. My car is a Canadian VR6 which is the same as the Euro model except Canadian cars have 5 mph bumpers versus the 2.5 mph bumpers used in the States & Europe which means we don't have fog lights.
The Canadian & European cars are the same other than the bumpers & the Canadian VR6 is a 2.8 litre like the american cars. The only real difference between the American Corrado's is they use auto-belts, knee-bars, 4 spoke steering wheel, crappy lights (like Canadian cars), standard gauges (with a 140 mph speedo while the others used 260 kph speedo - except for Britian which used a 160 mph speedo), the spoiler goes up at a lower speed, and the car is marked SLC on the rear while others are marked VR6.
Otherwise the cars are the same and you can install all the other parts on your car to make it Euro.

If you look at the front spoiler on the storm or other limited production cars the newer and limited cars came with the 50mm lips. i never understood why tho. also canada and the euro cars got a recaro option.

why, if the european VR6 has 18 more horsepower and the stock weights are so different is there not more of a performance difference between the two?

Re: A simple question I dont know the aswer to! (sold on expense)
well, there is. But because the gearing ratios are higher, it kills most of if. My -89 G60 euro had higher gearing than my -92 SLC!
A bigger radiator, a/c compressor and piping, metal bar reinforced knee bumps (about 30-40lbs?) and reinforced side impact protection in doors does weight alot. But remember that the rated 2567lbs is without the driver.

I thought the US Spec SLC came with a solid linkage shifter instead of the cable shifter, a coil pack instead of a dizzy. Can't remember where I read it, I'll have to look. May have been on the corrado club website.

My cars a 93 SLC and it has a distributer, this motor they only made for the first 2 years of the corrado Vr6, than they switched to the coil pack, so I guess its kindof cool becuase its more unique.

You read it in European Car, the author was wrong. All 02A transmissions use a cable shifter no matter what car they came with. The VR6 used a distributer until early 1993 when it switched over to the coilpack.
