GSL's have a limited slip. although they have a longer gear ratio than the GSL-SE's

How do you mean fuel capacity? How many gallons the tank holds? It's 60 Litres... 13.3 gallons or so... depending on which gallon you use... I'm up in Canada... I know nothing of gallons. Forget which one you yanks use jj.

If I can remember right the GSL's LSD is a 3.73 and the SE's have 4.11's.My cars always run SE brakes all around.

they are all 3.9 or 3.93 except the early GSL-SE's (start to nov 84, 800001-873902), which are 4.076

I believe it's 16 gallons. I had a full tank with plugged line, and I distinctly remember siphoning 15 gallons

out of it, into 5 gallon gas cans. There was still a little left in it, but not much. GSL's do have posi, or at least mine does. 81 and up have disc brakes on the rear, if I remember correctly. My 82 gsl has both posi and rear disc.,,,,BB





to the original owner for buying such a loaded car
