I don't like how i will be knocked for having a v6 every once in a million years, but never by a GT/Cobra/etc. owner, always by someone i could more likely than not beat, and all GT drivers etc give me thumbs up or throw peace signs...
So 2 more cylinders and my car would be perfect, that and i have too many miles on her...

The non-retracting seat belts and how the stock shifter doesn't want to go into reverse sometimes.

Probably only with my car but whatever...

Instead of slamming it down try letting off the brake and letting your car roll or rest a little bit then apply the brake and shift into reverse. Usually works for me...

more horsepower = more money. If you want more horsepower, they offer a model called the cobra.

I think his point is that all the Ford engine's minus maybe the cobra aren't anywhere near their potential off the assembly line. But then again Ford is a business and more concerned with selling cars cheap then selling a few high performance cars....

My windows do this too. I also have a Black '02 GT. I thought it might be the cheap tint that the previous owner had on the car, however I had it changed(had to go darker) a couple of weeks ago and they still do it. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY! but not as bad as my window sticking.

My hood scoop holds like a gallon of water. After I wash it I have use the shop vac to get the water out, or use 2 or 3 towels. And the rear bumper where the trunk lid bottom closes at holds dirt like crazy. and my stainless steal exhaust pipes are ugly and not very smooth where the cut them at the tips. And my rearend housing is cast iron and surface rust is everywhere. Why couldn't they paint that or treat it with rust preventive stuff.

let see here is a list of little annoying thing i need to fix on my Crapstang.

Seat belts forget about it.
1. 6 CD changer gets stuck when switching from CD 2 to CD 3.
2. Going into reverse is just a mere suggestion
3. The air vents break for no apparent reason... J b Weld and Model Paint has helped me fix these.
4. Squeaky noise in the engine bay that goes away when I press the clutch.
5. on a nice spring day cruising with the windows down feeling the fresh air in your face. Meanwhile your legs are losing weight due to the heat coming from the firewall.

6. Oh yea the dam check engine light just came on with a 4606 error.

I am thinking of throwing the chaise away and sticking the engine in a RX 7

I do not like the left knee vent, ya cant get it pointed good with the steering wheel in down position, you also cannot see the guages well behind the steering wheel.

The thing that annoys me the most is the NON Retracting Seatbelt....the whining power steering pump, weak *** stereo system, and where the shifter is positioned. I mean i have to lean all the way forward just to shift. (i have auto so aint to bad). Other then that i love her so much!

I had the same problem so i took it in and ended up being a broken power steering bracket just a $10 part so not that bad
