So, it's a 2020 GT350. 5.2L V8 with 526hp 6sp with an 8250rpm redline
You can leave exhaust valves closed if you're neighborly (closed in the video), or open them of you love a sweet symphony of noise ordinance rebellion
It's designed to be a balanced race car high revving out of a curve vs a drag monster. Don't get me wrong. It accelerates purty quick, but once it gets up to about 4k rpms it's like the Mellenium Falcon just hit hyper speed. I do not know what 8250rpms feels/sounds like. I hit 80ish mph in 2nd gear at about 6kish rpms. Numbers are approximate because I was keeping my eyes on the road. Mebbe I'll get there someday, preferably on a runway. I was a little concerned I'd built it up too much in my head over the years, but I love this thing.
Now the shameful story.
The whole way out to pick it up, Mrs. Beach was lecturing me about how I have to be careful, doesn't want me to die, yadda yadda yadda. So, on tge way home, we pulled up next to each other at a light, I gave it a little rev to mess with her, but wasn't going to do anything serious, because I try like hell to avoid additional lectures. Light turns green and that woman put her foot all the way into that Mazda CX5. I had to work to reel her back in by the next light about 1/4mi down the road. Then she was all "I'm a little disappointed in you."
That woman played me like a fiddle 👻
