It doesn't sound like you have. The coupe will make your Corrado feel like a Ford Festiva. Don't get me wrong, your Corroda looked cool and they're quick little cars but the M-coupe is a RWD beast. Don't worry about doing any mods until you've driven about a month. After a month you'll figure what you want to change, i.e the exhuast is too quiet, the suspension is too soft etc... It all depends on your driving style and how you like you car to feel/sound/accelerate. As for Dinan itself...if you look at the archive of the Z3 and Z/M Coupe you will see that people that put Dinan on there car are generally disatisfied. Way over priced and not enough bang for the buck. However, this is not from personal experience with Dinan, it's just from what the majority of people on these boards have said over the past year. Here's my uselss opinion...

- Drive coupe for a month, decide IF you want to change anything
- If you do exhaust, go with B&B Tri-Flo or the Supertrapp
- If you do an ECU Uprade ("chip") - go with Jim Conforti
- And finally, most importantly, upgrade the driver, not the car. Most people, me definately included, cannot even come close to driving the coupe to it's limits.

That all said, enjoy your car! You're going to love it.

: What's anyone's opinion on Dinan or any other aftermarket products for the M coupe? I owned a 92' highly modified corrado w/ cams/ported work/suspension/brakes/throttle body/P-flow etc.

: I found that I was scared to go to the forced air approach on a FWD car. I also was leary of the long term reliability. So I wonder how it compares to anyone that has done it to their M Coupe? Chip/T-body/Mass Air-Flow Sensor/or even SC it?

: I read that the stock car is pretty incredible! Most change
: exhausts. Thoughts?

: If interested my former car can be seen at:

: I receive my M coupe first week of August.
