Let's hear a little bit about the driver - What's your name and where are you from?
Carlos Pérez, San José California.
What got you into modifying cars and what kept you in it?
When I was 6th grade 80’s my uncle Roy, RIP, Was part of the VW scene would drop me off at school bumping New Order it was cool. He took me to New Dimensions, if you know you know, they would have cars shows and meets.
I was a skater and really did not have my first car till I was 20 but I got my license at 15 and would drive other people’s cars or motorcycles. It was the 80’s when I finally got my first VW, a red 1989 Jetta GLI. After that I was hooked.
Tell us about your ride, what is it?
I own 8 at the moment maybe more but let’s talk about the 1992 Corrado SLC VR6.
Mods?
- V3 airlift suspension
- Borla exhaust
- Zimmerman crossed drilled
- Reupholstered interior
- BBS steering wheel
- BBS RS wheels with anniversary caps
- Hecklbende
Anything special under the hood?
Very Rare VSR manifold
Anything else you'd like to add?
I have owned over 60 plus Vdubs and have a nice collection of parts. I love the 90s to the early 00s scene, we were thriving in the VW Vortex world and had to use our imagination not YouTube . I hope the scene gets back to that because I am tired of seeing the import scene and want to see some more VAG cars.
