it sounds like the air is comming out of somewhere? well check your intake to make sure all connections are snug and check the exhaust. some people unbolt or atleast PARTIALLY unbolt the exhaust (not sure if thats too loud to be the "air" or not, i have no idea wut ur saying) and it kills the torque

I hope you are wrong when you say the power is there just not getting to the wheels.Could be a variety of things but the big question is it an automatic or standard?
Assuming it is a standard 1st place to look would be the clutch. Does the engine rev high and you don't go anywhere? then suddenly go? Symptyms in an automatic are similar high reving eratic shifts etc. Sorry but you best find a good transmission mechanic.

What Stang did you get? It could be a ton of things. When I got mine it was only running on 7 cylinders. Have your engine checked out.
