Car is going back to the interior trim shop to repair the convertible top headliner. This is the fourth attempt at repairing the problem. Was told the car will be in the shop through the Labor day weekend. I tried to post pictures of the problem with no luck.

I have a 2005 GT and I am experiencing the same problems. The car was at the dealer a week ago and they replaced the fuel pumps. Driving the car over the past week the same thing started happening again. When I am at a stop and try to accelerate the car hesitates for a few seconds then jumps hard into driving. Today sitting in traffic when I hit the gas nothing happened, I just sat there. The engine light came on yet again and I was stuck. I turned the car off and then on again and made it home. Going back to the dealer tomorrow. Any suggestions?

Same sort of things happening with my car. this car reached 900 miles and strange things begun from "Limp Home mode" in the dash where I could not get passed 20 MPH to dying in the middle of a turn in an intersection. They had mine three seperate times and then for for 1 week and finally replaced the MAS -Mass Air Flow Sensor. Their explanation was that all of the tests "pointed" in that direction. So far, so good. It's been 3 weeks.

This will work, but the problem will return. The computer has adaptive learning and will eventually relearn your driving technique.
Find a knowledgeable tuner who can remove the throttle lag and at the same time get a Cold Air Intake and add 25hp to your pony.
Ford purposely slowed the car down and there are a lot of hidden hp tricks. Read some differnt forums that are actually informative with technical assistance and information.

Look into the Lemon Law in your state. If you've owned the car less tha 12 months and have put less than 12,000 miles on the car you may have a case. Has the car been back 3 times for the same problem with no resolution? Has the car been out of service for 30 or more days?
I submitted my Lemon Law paper work last week. Good luck!!!

You are right. But, CAI costs around $ 600 and may void warranty. That is why I have not bought CAI.

If you have a GT and this happens to you check to see that the traction control is turned on, check engine rpms's and white smoke from the rear view mirror, then let off gas and shift to next gear.

It wont void warranty. A warranty cannot be wholly voided by an aftermarket part. Only the parts affected can be voided.
Funny how Ford now has their own CAI. Go ahead and do it. You can always spend 10 minutes reinstalling to stock if you need to take it to dealer with a problem.

Well I certainly don't need more than 16" to 17" wheels on any car. I like the stripe look on a Stang and Cobra, and the hood scoops look fine to me. Are you perhaps assuming everyone wants, and needs a car to your liking? Interesting. Will have to check with you before purchasing any car to be sure it meets your criteria. 
As for chrome wheels, I would not own any which were too heavy, as in unsprung weight not being a good thing, but if it matched the color of the car, and the look of the model of car, I could go chrome. Even if you think it is pimp.
Have you ever seen the Liberace car at the Imperial Palace. Now that is ummm, well, let's say something else. Maybe it needed a hood scoop.
