Funny that, the guy doesn't even say what mag it is.

Should be a no brainer, VL is a tiny bit quicker but is ultimately a mid '70s Opel with a fancy motor.

Well I hope they aren't racing VLTs with a 2.77.

More than likely the car pictured is a manual/MPI S.

Can any one explain how there is 10 years differnce between an EA and a VL like they are going on about in the article?

VL 86-88
EA 88-90(or 91??)

Never mind, just worked it out.. they are talking about the VL being based on the VB. El comprehendi now.
