So I went down to the South Florida GTG last weekend, and picked this up while I was there. Debating if I should keep both cars or not still.

Corrado G60 has an unsilenced Lysholm supercharger on it. Also has VR6 sized brakes, and a few other things. In great running condition, supercharger has less than 5k miles, and engine is very low miles too (was swapped in). Lots of cosmetic flaws though that I will work out later.

Keep em both. You know you would miss the Jetta if you got rid of it. ;)

Wow, the Jetta has changed a lot since I last checked in. Congrats on the new ride and good luck w/ the tough decision!

Thats awesome, you should keep both if you can. My corrado has been a pain, but I can't let it go. :) I am just keeping my corrado on the insurance for the winter, then I can toy with it in the summer, and hopefully get it running and starting nicely, while I drive the jetta. Which car do you feel is faster? I don't have a lysholm, just a stage 4 g60, but I think my old 2.0t jetta was faster. I have been considering swapping it into the corrado, possibly with a 16v head, it only had about 80k on it compared to 130k on the g60, but it was just rebuilt so I am having a hard time deciding.

Well I never completely got my turbo setup running correctly, so the g60 is definitely faster. Plus there's no spool up. I sold most of the turbo kit already, and if I want performance stuff, I'll do it to the corrado.
