My car, picked up new in August 2011, has developed a slight to worsening squeak any time I come to a stop on even just a slight downhill road. It only has 2500 miles on it. I've never driven it harshly. It reminds me of the sound of metal on metal like a brake wearing out, but how can that...

2012 owner here, car built in June 2011. I've been hearing a mechanical rubbing noise (hard to explain, it's not loud loud, but audible enough) that is only heard when travelling slow in parking lots, for example, and is most noticeable when turning. From a sidenote on another thread, I read...

What are the pros/cons of switching out JUST the tires versus the tires & wheels as I make the switch from the stock F1 Supercar Tires to All Weather Tires? It's not something I'd be doing myself either way. **NOTE: I have the 'regular', non-SVTPP rims.** Obviously, not having to buy a...

Anyone get any extra (non-dealer) keys for their 2011 or 2012? This website claims that the key they sell for the 2011 will work on the 2012. It is soooo cheap at $11.99, I figured I'd give it a try (much cheaper than the dealer (~$300) or even Home Depot (~$69)). Yeah, I'd have to get...

Pulling out of corner parking space I hear a scratching sound... well, it turns out I scratched up my front splitter on my otherwise new 2012 GT500 against the concrete curb... thankfully ONLY the splitter appears to be damaged in any way. The bumper itself is intact and there doesn't appear to...

I live in Northern NJ.... my neighbor thinks I should just throw the cover on top of the car and park it near the house (which is free of trees, etc). I'm cautious about using the cover, especially if we get high winds... won't that cause it to possible whip around a lot on the car's paint...

So, I bought the fancy schmancy car cover that Ford sells when I bought my car... my question is this -- when should I use it? The only tip I have so far is that I should only ever cover it when the car is clean, as any dirt would contribute to scracthes. That said, is it okay to use it to...

I REALLY do not want to have to drill my front bumper for a front plate when they come in (on a temp tag right now). [I live in NJ.] My car is a 2012 Shelby... I've read about a bunch of Porsche/Ferrari folk going to great lengths to install rare earth magnets BEHIND the front bumper...

I'm about to take delivery on a brand spanking new 2012 GT500 any day now. (The dealer keeps bumping out the ETA date) [I opted for the darker (kona) blue w/ white stripes set up. Options I selected were: Shaker 1000, Recaro seats, Shelby car cover.] I have two main areas I'd LOVE to hear...
