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.
