15.2 isn't bad for a car that isn't "fully" broken in. You'll probably shave a tick or two off that time w/ some better rubber up front. That vibration you're hearing when you back up is normal -- it's the ABS kicking in -- and you should hear it once more when you put the car in drive (less audible the second time though). The "tapping" from the belt tensioner? I hear something similar -- I think a few other people have mentioned how poorly constructed the belt adjusters are. They tend to make a very plasticky creaking noise while driving -- someone suggested adjusting the height to a lower setting, and that may tend to tighten the adjuster and prevent further creaking.

That time is not good. even for a green car.
My stock Tl did that.

Uh-oh - do we have the making of another Mustang Cobra under delivery of power?
My S feels seat of the pants faster than my TL, which did 0-60 in 6.48 with Ctech gofast parts.
I am expecting a 6.1 run or better - hope I am not diasppointed.
When I test with my Vericom VC2000 performance computer, I will advise.
Stay tuned.

that's funny, i ran into a guy with the blue tl type s in houston also. i could tell by the markings on his car that he had just gone to the track and he said that he ran a 15.2 also. granted it was 80+ degrees out and humid here. he's bone stock also.
