Some GTs in 2005 were built radio delete. Some in 2006 were built only with the base unit or non macs. No choice for ordering customers. Why? Answer these two questions and post two more to keep the challenge going. Just for fun.

#1 The 101 cars imported to Europe had no radios because Europe uses different transmission frequencies. The Sanyo and McIntosh radios offered in North America could not be properly tuned in Europe.
#2 The cars imported to Canada were equipped with the standard radio only because Ford wanted to keep the weight of the car to a minimum after adding the bumper modifications required by Canada.

Identify the asymmetrical exterior design element on the GT.
Why is it asymmetrical?

Mirrors; best view from drivers seat on both sides. Too easy, Paul.

In fact the 101 cars were all built radio delete and some were subsequently fitted with a European spec Sanyo unit which Sanyo helped out by supplying to Ford of Europe

Some GT have faulty gauges, why? :lol :lol :lol

Now then back to the OP's keep the challenge note: This car is commemorative of Ford 100 years history, where do you find the number "100" on every car ?
