Gt or not gt
Answered by Graham Smith · 05 May 2005

THE EL GT is pretty much unloved by GT enthusiasts who thought it was dressed up, but not to thrill. Old GT fans reckon it's a pretender, but it still has a GT badge and will always be a GT. XR8 Sprints are bringing $9000-$12,000.

Ford Falcon: Is a Subaru Forester better?
Answered by CarsGuide team · 18 Mar 2005

THE BA Falcon should do the job. It is rated to tow up to 2300kg with the auto and the Ford tow pack. I wouldn't recommend the manual, as it isn't rated as high as the auto. As far as the Subaru goes, I would think it should cope with the load you want to move without any drama. The Ford is more solidly built than the Subaru, but I wouldn't advise you against the Outback.

Fuel consumption pulped
Answered by Graham Smith · 14 Apr 2005

NOT necessarily. Your car was tuned for unleaded so running it on premium unleaded may not make a difference, though I'm surprised consumption increased so much. PULP works on some cars because they have systems that can detect ignition knock and adjust timing accordingly. On these cars PULP will allow it to run on a higher advance, which means better fuel figures.
