Hello All!!! I am glad I found you!!!

I hope there are a few of you out there with some suggestions for me because the dealer is of little use.

Problem #1 When the engine is warm it makes a ticking or clicking noise under moderate/slow acceleration between 1500 to 2300ish rpms. It does not happen if you rev the engine in park nor in the final overdrive gear. It almost sounds like an old diesel engine. The dealer said to drive it for 1000 miles to see if it goes away (I bought the car with 18 miles on it). I have driven these before so when I test drove this one I didn't take that much time and just basically drove it around a couple of blocks, so I don't know if the car came with the tick. I'm assuming so. I discovered it while I sat in traffic with the top down at mile 88. I remember an old 68 Chevy El Camino I had many years ago that clicked like this when it was COLD because of a "lifter"

Problem #2 Also under acceleration the engine makes what I can best describe as a Whooooshhh sound. Not a cool whooosh like you used to hear when a turbo spooled up.The only thing I can liken it to is the sound an electric weed eater makes as you edge your lawn or clear some brush. The dealer heard the sound and said they all make that noise. NOPE! My friend used to have a 2006 Crossfire and I never heard this sound before. It is only really noticeable with the top down and the radio off. It's like there is a a plastic bag over the air intake and the engine is really struggling.

Problem #3 The engine does feel sluggish. The dealer said it just not broken in yet. It feel to me more like I'm driving with the emergency brake on!

Thanks in advance to any and all input!!
