as winter starts to approach in the northeast my GT will be spending alot of time in the garage. i will probably start it weekly but over the winter months that is about it. it won't go on the road at all.

what should i do for preparation? how much fuel should i leave in the tank? don't think i should disconnect the battery if i plan on starting it from time to time.

any suggestions would be helpful..thanks
