winning noise when accelerating. I just bought a 2000 ss ms6 with 55k miles on it and when i accelerate i hear a winning noise almost like there a supercharger on it, it stops when i let of the gas or depress the clutch. Any idea?

Winning noise? It's probably from people cheering you. Seriously, try and get a mechanic's stethescope or a long ratchet/extension combination and try to put it on the motor closest to the pulleys as the car runs. If you need additional room you might do what I did and put the car up on stands and get underneath-do all this while you or a helper works the throttle. Maybe it's a pulley, maybe not, but this should help you determine that possibility...
take the belt off and spin the idler pulley, tensioner pulley, ps pump, alternator, and water pump. btw dont forget about the belt and pulleys for the ac compressor. if they dont spin freely that is more than likely you problem
My car just makes losing noises. No but I'd check the pulleys. My A/C compressor does that if I don't have the A/C on. From a distance it almost sounds Procharger-ish (I wish it was).

does it do it if ur cruisin in what ever gear with clutch out, and u just hit the gas a little it makes it then goes away when let off and stuff? press clutch in goes away even if u rev up? if so its probably rear end related, if it seems to to it strictly engine revs, check alternator, had a k5 that sounded super charged cause my alternator was bad, died on me about a week later, spiking at 18+ volts before dying lol XD

Mine was power steering you can check it by having your car in park, on, and turn the wheel all the way to the right and the left. If you hear the sound towards the end it is the ps pump

This issue has been driving me nuts for quite some time now. Can't find a vacuum leak anywhere, was able to eliminate all pulleys. Guess I'll be diving into the possibility of an exhaust leak now. Pain in the butt.

i honestly think it could be some wear on gears in your tranny. does it do it just in first? does it go away in second? third? all other gears? if its in all gears it def could be rear end gear whine. where does the noise seem to be coming from?
