I am guessing that your not driving the 6.0 to keep its resale value intact. I also imagine that you are not able to make a comparison between the two due to putting so few miles on the 6.0. It would be a big temptation for me to drive the 6.0 especially if I had to look at it often. thanks for the reply.

It is amazing how many Lambo owners have made the switch or have added the GT to their collection.
Every time I drive my Gt I am pleased.
Quick Time, your expectations are very high, nothing wrong with that,
my Volvo V70R has never had one issue of any kind... come to think of it, neither has my GT. :biggrin

Does anyoe know the part number for that clip? I was at a Ford dealer trying to order a new one today and they can't find the part number.
observation about vibration- only when motor warm
on my 05, I noticed mild vibration at about 2000rpm only occurs after motor reaches operating temp. absolutely no vibraton under roughly 140 degrees.vibration occurs in every gear or in neutral,clutch in or out.had opportunity to test 06 on showroom floor- same thing- no vibration when first started but came on as motor warmed up. I assumed this vibration was quirk of car but now wondering if only few cars do this? I have read about every thread re vibration on here but never saw mention about only happening at operating temp. I cannot pinpoint location of sound as seems to be common. Any others have similar finding?

First off welcome to the site. This item is in many threads and your best option is to use the search feature of the forum. In this thread alone there are four - five items discussed.... Face it, the car is a race car and has it's own quirks.... Love it, drive it and enjoy it....

Anyone know if the Irvine, CA location of Saleen offers any support/service to Ford GT owners?

Randy, that question was asked of Steve Saleen when we saw him at the Cars & Coffee event couple of weeks ago. He said absoultely. If you need help with any rattles, I've gotten rid of all of mine.

Well I have been hearing this rattling/vibration when I close my door, trunk lid, clam. I thought it was just normal. But after trying some others I realized it was not.
I had my son open and shut stuff so I could track it down. It sounded like it was coming from the passenger fender area. It' hard to tell doing it by yourself.
I tracked it down to the Headlight Assy. When I tap the top of it with the palm of my hand you can see the inner assy vibrating. It does not do this on the other side.
I checked the manual and it says, remove fender liner, remove washer pump or charcoal can remove the bracket mounting nuts and it should drop down. OK, from the drawings it looks as though there is nothing I could tighen that would stop the problem, except maybe the bracket, which seams to look like a shelf the assy sit on. The inner assy is loose inside the housing.
Has anyone had one out ?. Do you know if there is some way to tighen the inner housing to the larger housing ?. Any dealer work for this one?. Thought I woud ask before I tear into it.
Ps: on another note, reeading on ,it says the whole assy must be replaced as there is no bulb for the HID lighitng. I knida expected that.
But the funny part it that is says if you remove the Rear Taillight, you must replace the whole thing as the nuts will not re-attach. I hope that is not true.

I had posted into an earlier thread on the simple headlamp adjustment. The manual had me going through the same process including removing the splash guards. I followed the instructions only to find a small opening under the hood giving access to the adjusting screw; but it was good practice and a learning lesson. Collapsing the splash guard and carefully wiggling it out will be the greatest challenge, but can be done; then the hardware and headlamp fixture should be accessible.
Good luck, and you'll also need to get a handful of the plastic pins and plastic rivets that hold the liner in place. Some will break. Also, I can't recall if the manual mentions it but removing the diffuser might be a good starting point.
