    Dash Rattle

    Hey guys I have had these types of rattles as well, most seem to be coming from the dash area, but I had the dealer look at the interior molding that runs along the headliner to the dash next to the window. When they removed it they where able to find either clips not attached or re-routing of...

    The 05 and rain?

    I have been driving my 05 GT since purchased last November in Chicago Weather, rain and snow and this car handles very good in those conditions. Quite an improvement since my last GT (1988) which was not drivable in the snow and drive with caution in the rain. Don't forget it's still pushing 300...

    Magnaflow Cat-Back reviews...

    Just wondering if you have a auto or manual trans, my car is completely stock (manual) and I have always been able to break the tires loose in second and get a long chirp in third. The only reason I ask is I am assuming that your car is auto and the upgrade did improve performance. I have long...

    Wheel Hop and Squeaky Brakes

    I checked with local dealer about sqeaking brakes on 05 vs 06 and if any fix was available from Ford. They claim that the part numbers are the same for both years and that they are not aware of a solution to the problem yet. If anyone out there has figured this out please help! I am getting...

    06 GT 18in high polish?

    I found this pic on the talk forum. Some members don't like these wheels, I personally think they are sweet and wish they would have been available when I purchased my 05. Enjoy

    So what does your 2005 GT weigh?

    What are body side moldings? Are they the door strip to avoid door dings? I have never seen them on an 05 GT, did you add aftermarket? How about a pic.

    Midwest 2006 orders

    FYI on the price gouging, had my 05 in for an oil change about a month and a half ago and saw a new 05 GT on the lot with a dealer addendum add on cost of $10,000. I had to count the zero's twice because I couldn't believe it. This is in the Chicago Burbs, won't name the dealer, I still use...

    Wheel Hop and Squeaky Brakes

    I have read on this forum that the pinion mesh could be a problem, this dates back to last year. I was just wondering if many others experienced this problem and if Ford had a fix. I hate to start modding the rear end unless I'm changing the gearing. I want to try and keep the car stock for a...

    My 06 is in!!!

    I disagree with the comments about those wheels, I think they look great! Those are the ones we saw on the preview of the car in 03' at the autoshow, and I was very disappointed that they didn't come on the 05'. I would love to know how much it would be to get them for mine, want to trade? by...

    Wheel Hop and Squeaky Brakes

    By the way I had the problems with my shaker 1000 as well, waited forever for a replacement to come into the dealer but all is working fine on mine now. Only problem was that they scratched the plastic below the radio on the console a bit. Hang in there, once you get a radio with out the...

    Wheel Hop and Squeaky Brakes

    Thanks for the info, anyone else get this resolved using these newer pads? Does anyone know the part numbers for them? I will check with my dealer again, but up to this point they haven't been much help.

    Thanks, already checked there before posting. I am still wondering if any other 05 GT owners have experienced this problem and if so did their dealer find anything wrong with the car.
