    I have recently begun to hear a squeak when accelerating hard and changing gears quickly. Yes, there is a small targa squeak but this one is different. Not being a hands on car guy, but reasonably mechanically inclined, any thoughts on what I need to look at and how to address it. I want to start working on my car but also don't want to screw it up. Thanks.

    It can be so, so many things. You need to more definitively determine where the noise is coming from. Start with suspension components.

    Squeak or whistle? Belt squeal maybe? Can you tell if the noise is coming from front, back, pedal area, etc?

    I had some "noise" when I got my GTS, I greased the two seal between the targa top and the body with glycerine. The noise disappeared

    Spray your front bushings with Teflon spray and see if you can make it go away. Shock bushings, sway bar bushings and A-arm bushings.

    Indeed sounds like front suspension en bushings is the 1st to look at. Please let us know if you found the issue.

    Both. There is a small squeak with the targa top on but this is a different squeak coming from the left front of the car between aggressive acceleration and gear shifts.

    I had a broken front bushing in my ‘86 328. Squeaked like an old bed frame!
