78-82 = OB, as far as I'm concerned the others are "S" cars. Then you have S4, GT, and GTS.

Korwen and Mason get an A+ for knowing the true meaning of OB (even though the original mis meaning was from a frustrated CIS owner talking about the PITA CIS cars with all their vacuum crap).

Adam, sorry buddy buy you have to get a C... That only because you remember the original use of the abbreviation.

James,

Think you get an F for not knowing the history of Rennlist, otherwise you would know that the coiner of the term OB was not, by any means, a frustrated CIS owner.

Just a few facts about the 78 and 79 CIS 928's:

1. The 78 was the european car of the year
2. The 78 and 79's were the last to be team built. All the others were made on an assembly line.
3. According to Excellence magazine, NADA, etc the 78 and 79's have held or increased in valve.
4. Vacuum crap? You must be talking about the door locks.

Not so frustrated CIS owner since 1985
