Some of these cars had a LSD in the trans ..I'm coming to see...Any tag or...? ...That would say ... I know I can turn the wheels but the wheels are gone and the rotors are on the ground....

VR6 Corrado came with traction control. No LSD that I am aware of either, and I owned one for a while.

Go with a Golf body. Easier to replace, everything else from the Corrado bolts up. G60 motors are famous for blowing the supercharger, which is expensive ($600 or so) to replace. You can replace it with a more reliable blower, but that will cost you more.

Run, don't walk, away.

It is also one of the most expensive vws to fix. Parts are extremely expensive. Like Wilson says, run!
