| So I am looking at getting one of these but don't know which one to go with I am leaning towards Ultra gauge cause of the price. Has anybody used either of them and can recommend one, or if one is better that the other? | |

| I have scan gauge it's pretty handy. I use it for temps, voltage, gas milage info and obviously reading any codes. it's handy, I like it | |

| I went thru so many different kinds of forums (Clean MPG,Ih8Mud,and Pontiac G8's) and got not kind of definitive answer. So I think I'll buy w/ the wallet in mind go for the ultra. | |

I think newer GTO's is awesome looking. I want to get a newer F-body but one gas guzzler is enough for me. | |

He's doing the Holden Monaro conversion the thing is sick. We would go out street racing on the old abandoned highways that were used in the 70's-80's to land planes and bring coke in the the us. It was like some fast and furious shit.. I only have one shitty cell phone pic, doesnt do this car justice Oh an yes Ed your scan gauge has saved me more than once. Especially when my truck was over heating.. | |
