Default Bought a supercharged Mustang....

I am a new Mustang owner, just picked up a 96 V6 Supercharged Mustang. I just wanted to know if there is anything special I should know about supercharged vehicles. It has 70000 miles, do I have to worry that its been supercharged, will it destroy the engine? Any special oil I should use? Is it true I need to leave the car running for a minute while idling before I turn it off? Should I replace it with another car that is stock?

If anybody has any advice, or can ease my fears, please do!

Sorry, but with all that's happened lately, I'm calling [sm=bs.gif] Until I see some pics. How do we know it's not RedAss or some other smartass pulling another one on us?

If and when I'm proven wrong, I'll be the FIRST to apologize!

Think I'll ask Booze to do an IP addy check....
