    We have a CGT in our shop that was delivered from the factory sans CD/radio display/speakers/amps/etc......a factory option.....you just merely check the appropriate box and the only music you hear is from the 10 standard speakers.

    Well........the guy wants the factory sound system, since the CGT cockpit is not the standard DIN faceplate size, so you can't really go aftermarket......you gotta go with factory parts........

    $9800 + TAX + LABOR

    $15100 + TAX + LABOR WITH NAV

    Gack......!!

    Oh well......it is a big buck car anyways.......

    +/- 5% of the market value of the car though ! OUCH !

    There really is no custom solution ? We have seen so many enzos with aft sound systems.

    Why do you need a radio in a super car? Do ten cylinders not make a heavenly enough noise?

    I'd just put a boombox in the passengers seat.

    I've driven Ferrari's into NYC when the radio's haven't worked (after the battery gets turned off and you forget/lose the factory PIN to reset the radio) and've been completely miserable in traffic. Yeah the V8/V12 is godly, but it gets awful boring sitting @ idle.
