Default Engine Clatter?!?!

Ok,

I'm a little freaked out about this one. My mustang has only 1,300 miles on it and today I started hearing this strange clatter coming from under the hood when I was driving home from work. It becomes more noticable if you give it some extra gas and try to force some acceleration. Also, the car feels like it's slowed down and feels/sounds rough, wtf!!! . I'm going to take it to the dealership this weekend, but has anybody experienced this problem with their new stangs? This is REALLY frustrating, I've not even had it a full month yet.....ugh.....maybe it's just a lose exhaust manifold or something? :\

help!

Mike

Those who own manuals...did you notice the clutch is really loud too? If I try to do any type of slow start or when I'm reversing carefully that thing is not so quiet! Maybe it just seems loud compared to the POS clutch on my old 4 banger...lol

Anyway, I'm gonna take it for a quick drive in a bit here to see if it's still doing it...
