Question concerning road noise.
Does it have the stock exhaust?

Great, I finally buy a Ford, and I get a bum car. Just my luck. The dealership told me from my description that it was exhaust backpressure or somethig like that. They can't test it because they are not allowed to drive it past 65.

Sounds like a driveline vibration. Maybe his driveshaft isn't properly balanced. How does the clutch pack tsb come into play at 70mph?

That sounds like it could be the clutch packs in the differential. There is a TSB on it. Its covered by warranty. Do a search to check that out.

I got the same problem when my car was only around 500 miles. The first dealer where I bought the car told me that wind noise. They acted like I was a troublemaker. I went to the second dealerwhoaccepted the problem and after asking Ford representative, they replaced the driveshaft that was unbalanced.The noise was gone.

This may be normal for a dual exhuast high motor such as in the GT, I've never had one before. Anyways, when on the highway cruising about 2000rpm or 70mph, I get a little what sounds like vibration noise in the cabin, but kinda feels like presuure vibration if that makes sense. Is this a result of the backpressure due to being in between accel. and decel? It only really happens around 70mph. I don't have any vibration at any other speed.

Stupid as this sounds...
You said the problem goes away when you roll the window down, right?
Well, it might be something with the auto window function, and that the windows aren't going in at the correct height, so it's causing a pressure difference inside the car;this will sound like a vibration.
The windows on my GT roll down an inch when I open the door, and then roll back up when I shut the door. The owner's manual says that this is part of a way to keep the cabin noise down, and may need to be reset/readjusted. I forget the exact step to go through resetting it, but I know it's outlined in the owner's manual.
I only mention this because my mom's Corolla has similar noise issues, and it happens when the back windows are rolled down a slight amount. It actually starts sounding like a helicopter is flying directly overhead, and causes a vibration throughout the car.

Well, I took it to the dealership today and drove the tech around. As soon as I hit that swwetspot and it started, he agreed that it was the driveshaft. They checked for anything that may be loose, but fond nothing. They didn't have a means to check if it was balanced. They ordered a new driveshaft and will hopefully get it and replace tomorrow. They told me to just stay under that speed until then and I'll be fine.
I hope someone will answer my question. I HAVE EXACTLY this problem. 2007GT California. Vibration between 65-70. Only in 5th gear at 2000rpm.Balanced Drive shaft- still there.They replaced the drive shaft. Still there, but only in 5 gear, and at 2000 rpm at approx 68mph. Take it out of gear and goes away. 4th goes away.
I am frustrated and never had a prob. with a mustang before. I had a 2004 Mach1, and 2003 GT. Never a vibration. I am affraid that it will never be fixed. I do not think I should ignore it either. Please help!!! Thanks

It's not the helocopter type noise that so many are confusing the topic here. It is only exhaust harmonics. Nothing wrong with your car. If you had the windows down, and varied your rpms at 20 mph, you would here it then too.
