Ridin' the Crackle

[Muligan]

After 1800 miles or so, I've learned a new trick with this thing.... when engine braking and coming down through 3500 rpm or so in 2nd or 3rd, it's possible to prolong the crackle / after-fire noise quite a bit by just keeping a very slight amount of pressure on the throttle - really just resting my foot on it.

The sound of the exhaust is just about my favorite part of this car and this just makes it even more fun.

Yes it does. I found that in second right around 40 mph with the right pedal pressure, I can make it crackle for almost as long as I want.

This info should be stickied, I thought those who deleted the resonators knew how to do this. You can do it at basically any RPM as long as youre coming off of WOT followed by the quick deceleration + little bit of gas.

I've always thought of the crackle similar to sounds of thunder. I wonder who else is missing out on all the fun?

It does happen as you described but keeping it going is the trick here.

It's called machine gunning...and been doin it for years

I've got a nice hill I'm gonna try this on.

Should find an underpass to get maximum effect

I love doing this and Rev matching before big downshifts.... the sound is intoxicating!

When you apply small amounts of throttle it disables the decel fuel cut and thus creates the small backfires. Shouldn't have to be wot beforehand to make it happen though.

That's a good name for it, I always said the GT350 sounds like someone is shooting a machine gun outside your passenger window..

That's exactly what my nephew calls it when I take him for rides. He starts laughing like a maniac. It's hilarious :lol:

It's a magical sound, now I need to play with it to hold the sound, I thought it was only me that loved it!

Always WOT in tunnels and under bridges...anyone else?

 

[Wine dude]

Sadly no tunnels here and bridges only some overpasses but few and far between, but just thinking about that makes my skin tingle. That's got to turn heads, I know just the crackle sounds so good in the open!

Engineers left this little surprise for us in the car. They mentioned it in an interview.
