Yeh, the supra guys call them Anal Probes, probably because ford jacked so many lines from the MKIII supra

We have the KL we only ever had 1 type of probe was made specially for Australia so if there was only 2000 they only had 1 type no base probes.

The Car is called a Ford Probe 24V here but it's the american GT

The car was built with a GT body with clear corners and Driving lights (never had fog lights) Totally diff rear lights than all the other probes has brown trim no logo or lettering anywhere on the centre reflector and the Inside is all black dash with the Premium audio package (no eq)

There wasn't any options for the probe cause we had them all in our car besides the Moonroof altho some people got them installed.

We didn't even get a decal package

The reason ford called it 24v was to make sure the cost wasnt as high with insurence if it was called GT

MX-3 is the Sister car and MX-6 is the brother car

Also the aussie probe uses mx-6 A/C controls and a few minor cosmetic differences

A Ford Probe is not a sports car. It's FWD. No sports car is FWD. Same with the MX-3.
