No mine hasn't done that. Your the first person I have heard of to have that problem. Did the dealer tell you why it did that?

You have got to be kidding me. My friend bought one after driving mine several times and he loves it. The other day he took it to Flordia and told me one time he got it to 130 Mph for a period of time at about 3000 rpm and the engine was just singing and had plenty left. I have been really easy on mine lately because I am tired of pumping gas twice a week for it. To be honest with you I don't even believe you own a 2005 GT.[:@]

There has been some links here in the MF to service bulletins that say they had some bad head castings make it into production. But, it sounded like none of those cars were sold to the public. Lets hope not !!

I have only had my 05 up to 100 mph. She only has 200 miles on her so far, so I am trying to take it easy. I was surprised just how easy I slipped up there in 5th (5spd) on the interstate.

Hope your luck is better, now that you have a new engine !!

How many miles were on it, when it went? Please explain what, where & when it happened? It might help other's out, if we knew what if anything you heard just before it went?
Thanks,
Dave...
