I expect that many of you on Ford GT Forum do not use Twitter. I do not expect this Twitter chat will change that. This afternoon Ford held a Twitter chat with Ford Performance Exterior Designer Manager Garen Nicoghosian. Here’s a quick rundown of the (very lame) questions and their respective answers.
We’re here with Garen Nicoghosian, 1 of #FordGT’s designers. For 1 hour, send questions w/ #FordGTChat! #FordCAS pic.twitter.com/fwivOjpKOB
