If this doesn’t stir something within you, I’m not sure we can be friends.
Click me for the video. Mobile Kinja isn’t my strong point.
Hat tip to my awesome brother who turned me into a gearhead at 14.

1) I will accept that it sure sounds aggressive, and it has cool factor.
2) It doesn’t sound quite right to me. Why? Every single day I drive a 16 valve V8. The sound is intoxicating, and I don’t even have to be moving fast. Puddle around town? I’m rolling the windows down. Hit the highway? I crack the moon roof every time there’s a long enough overpass.
3) It’s still a Ferd, and I’ve never really liked their cars. Just not for me.

Keep in mind the audio was coming from a microphone right next to the exhaust. That’s not how it sounds inside the car or even any distance from it.

It probably doesn’t sound right because it’s not a typical American V8.

Total agreement. It's one of the big reasons I got my truck.

He’s talking about the flat plane crank on the Mustang.

I LOVE it but I am a Mustang fan boy who drove a very very loud( 2 chamber flowmasters and a catless xpipe) 95 Cobra daily for almost 15 years. I love how the revs just keep going on the GT350s, like the motor is pulling a billy mays “BUT WAIT THERES MORE!”

Well Im talking about more than 2 valves per cylinder. Its just doesnt sound right to me in certain cars. American Muscle especially. But at the same time, what am I even talking about? The Mustang was never Muscle....just Pony...

It does sound awesome, but I recently found out something about it that makes my head hurt a little. A traditional flat plane crank has only 4 throws on it and looks like a giant I4 crank. The crank in the GT350 does not. It has 8 throws each 180 degrees apart, which makes the crank heavier that it needs to be(still lighter than a cross plane though). I cant fathom why you would go so far as to make a flat plane crank, then take away some of its primary advantage of having a lighter crank that can rev faster. This was apparently done so they could have a single intake.
Don’t get me wrong, its still an amazing car, and if I had the money for a 2nd/track car, this would be way up the list, but it should be even better.
