So I was feeling an awkward vibration when driving and took it in to my dealer. They of course told me it was because of the aftermarket exhaust I have (refering to the x-pipe) and sent me on my way. I of course knew it wasn't and went right back to road test with the service manager. We took the car out for a test drive and, well, still couldn't figure it out. But before I tell you what he said I'll explain whats happening.
Around 60-80 mph or so (where its MOST noticable anyway) i feel a vibration in the pedals and floorboards and can hear a sound that sounds like a rubbing or grinding that fades in and out almost regularly. Excuse my stupid fake noise but its almost like vrrrrmmp.....vrrrmmmp.....vrrrrmmmp.
What we did on the test drive was take it to an old long stretch of road, get up to the speed limit of 65, put it in N, turn OFF the engine, and let the car roll. Still felt the problem and heard it. So he said its not the engine or the trans. We got back to the dealership and he told me it might just be my tires. there is a small patch on the center of one of my tires that has no tread left. So I'm inclined to agree with him. But what I also noticed was when they installed my supercharger they forgot to attatch the plastic in the fender well on the front right fender so its real loose but doesn't look like its rubbing. Thought that it could be that.
What do you all think?

I somehow did not see that. I have to read a lot of threads because I moderate all the s197 forums, all of 4.6, moving pictures and the mid atlantic forum.. sometimes I skim read the threads.
