    Noob question

    Hey everyone, Im new to this forum, and new to the mustang scene. Well I made a rookie mistake here... I looked at a guys "97 Cobra" and everything seemed legit. But I was in a hurry, and didnt really check the engine over well, so I picked it up. Brought it home, and it just didnt feel...
