Welcome to the site and congrats on getting the 05' GT. You will have to post pics when you get it.

Yeah, welcome to the forum. Are you looking to modify the car, or just wanting general maintenance tips?

RE: New to the forum

My suggested "trick" is you close this web page and never come back to this forum again...save you a ton of $

Seriously though: check the TSBs, there have been lots of them since 05. They will give you an indication of where problems have been found. For example, Ford has done a redesign of both the front strut mounts and the mounting of the rear UCA since 05. Your car may or may not have been fixed but if you start hearing "popping" in the front suspension, for example,at least you'll know why.
