I got back in the car, turned the music down and gave it a little gas and it repeated faster with higher RPM so it varies with engine speed. Its faint so with higher rpm you can't hear it. Given the kind of noise, it is like something is rotating around and rubbing, weather it be the crank, cams, or maybe the belt pulleys. Pete, I don't know if you remember, but back at the Malibu bar and Grill meet last winter, I think it was your car that was making a similar noise. I was wondering if you figured out what it was. Andy, Jesse, Antonio, Matt (cobra Matt) you guys got any insight, you were there too. I just wanted your guys thoughts. I haven't had a whole lot of time to look deeper into it yet.

I don't know much - hopefully Andy or Matt will chime in here - but maybe you should check your belts for wear, drying out, etc. Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

If you haven't replaced them since you've gotten the car, I'd replace them anyway. --Matt 2003 Sonic Blue SVT Cobra Coupe 2003 RedFire SVT Cobra Convertable 2005 Dark Toreador Red F150 XLT 4x4 2000 Black SVT Contour - Beater

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
