Make sure to check for Troggs too. They tend to be Wild Things.

Honestly learn some maturity, I had someone look the car over before I picked it up. I was told it was mechanically sound.

No check engine light? No diagnostic codes? Maybe post pics of your engine bay, vids, etc

Have some Maturity!!!!!??? You are the one that is running around in a car that probably only costed you at MOST $25,000 talking about how you are SO exclusive, your car is an exotic, and anything other Mustangs (GT's 4.6 & 5.0's, Boss 302, etc.) are lower end.

Try putting a water hose in the oil thingymabober in the engine bay. Just start pumping water through it, and then try and start the car while doing so.

Since oil is lighter than water, the water helps push the oil through the motor, lubricating it more, and hopefully pushing whatever gunk you have in your oil pan out.

Did you get any error codes? Got a video of the noise, there's not much anyone can do with just the description of "grinding noise", but actually hearing it may make a difference.

Ok a friend came over and looked at it, turns out the noise was being caused by damaged belt on the supercharger,so for now all seems ok I just need to replace it. And to those who made fun of the situation I should hope none of you should ever have to deal with major maintenance when your car has issues because it sucks.

A damaged belt is hardly major maintenance.
