In GT3, the Matech GT Racing team leads the European Teams Championship with 49 points thanks to the success of the Ford GTs driven by Ian Khan/Thomas Mutsch, and Bradley Ellis/Alex Mortimer.

Ford, GM 'Muscle' Cars Can Be Green Too

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Enerpulse, Inc. has released its Pulstar model CB1 pulse plug designed for pre-1996 Ford and General Motors cars and light duty trucks.

Pulstar holds eight U.S. and foreign patents and pulse plugs were developed as a drop-in replacement for all spark plugs, including so-called high performance spark plugs. They are designed to more efficiently ignite the fuel in an engine's cylinders which increases horsepower, torque and dramatically improves fuel economy. Pulse plugs look and fit like spark plugs, but unlike spark plugs, contain an integral capacitor, which dramatically boosts peak spark power from 50 watts in spark plugs to 1,000,000 watts in pulse plugs.
