i think i may have a problem. help please!
1. okay after i drove like 4 hours straight i parked my car and i noticed while my gear was still on [D] my car made this wierd noise like woosh woosh woosh woosh in the motor, its hard to describe. why? (only heard it that one time)
2. when i accelerate from 0-15 and release the pedal i hear a pop metal sound underneath. what is that?
3. when i was driving 400 miles everytime i accelerate i hear this metal ticking sorta noise by the gas tank. what is that? (only heard it during that trip)
4. i drove this 94 formula today it was for sale for $3500 w/ 131k miles. and a rebuilt motor w/ 100 miles. it was stock. when i drove her she felt real good, the gas pedal was really responsive, peppy, perky, call it what you will but it through me back on my seat and i was barely touching the pedal. i was so jealous i rushed home and hopped on my 98 trans am w/ 51k miles and began to compare the 2. and what i noticed was my car was smoother but the pedal response wasnt quite as quick and "alive" as the lt1 i drove earlier. i thought the lt1 i drove earlier was somewhat quicker. what the f? ls1's are supposedly quicker right?
i'd appreciate all the input guys. thanx!

could be numerous things, y pipe hitting floor board, broken tranny mount, etc.

1. yes it was making a woosh sound. before i parked i was traveling on this rediculous hilly road at the mojave dessert in cali. for 25 miles it was litterally up and down every 3 seconds. and i mean up and down. not bumps but mini hills with a road.
3. no not full throttle acceleration. i was averaging 75-85 mph.
4. both cars i compared were a4's. yeah it was stock. well his engine was rebuilt with only 100 miles on it and his exhausts were 2 round tips. is that stock? exhausts was shiney.
3. no not full throttle acceleration. i was averaging 75-85 mph.
