Hi Folks - new to the Forum. 1st post. Thanks to all that have contributed over the many years. Great stuff. Planning to do my part.
Just bought a 2020 GT PP1 car mostly for the track. 1000 miles on the car and have a bazaar issue that maybe someone out there has experienced. I have a noise coming from below the center console or dash area that sounds like a popslick stick in a bicycle spoke. It starts at around 25-30 mph and then gets more intense as speed picks up.
Took it to the dealer today and they don't have a clue. Said they need 2-3 days worth of troubleshooting at a minimum. They think it is something loose and vibrating, either from road vibration or wind/outside air rushing by. That makes sense to me from what I hear. But they don't know what part might be vibrating. It will be trial and error of taping stuff up and test driving. They say its not anything mechanical. That if it bothers me, just turn-up the radio .
I have been under the car several times (prior to the dealer visit) and there is nothing hanging down or stuck in any of the wheels or on the driveshaft. I will get back under it again, but thought that maybe someone else might have experience this or give me some suggestions. It does sound like a flapping panel that is either vibrating in the air or against something under the console or under the dash but outside the car.
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS: I already had to replace the thermostat at 900 miles. The bypass circuit was locked in the fully open position and overheated the engine when on it hard continuously. I bought a Reische 170 and bench tested it. I will send out the data. Thanks.
