2K RPM rattle or something else??

[Talliuz]

Hello, I've been experiencing what I belive to be the 2k rpm rattles Shelby owners hate so much. I am about 90% positive it is but I am 10% doubtful. While moving the rattle happens around 2k rpm like everyone else but today I took a video whole at idle and not sure if that's normal sound of the engine. Thoughts?

That's neither the 2k rattle, nor piston slap, nor the infamous tick.

That sounds perfectly normal, I think most S550 owners would kill to have their engine sound like that at idle.

I have to agree it sounds fine to me

I read two different concerns or interests:

1. Car at idle. Agree with others. Your car sounds normal.

2. 2K rattle when moving. I can appreciate it can be very difficult to capture. Maybe while in Park or Neutral, someone can take the engine to 2K while you record close-by?

This.

Took this video yesterday. Hard to hear but if you max out the volume the rattle is best heard at the beginning.

The car was 100% warmed up here too.

Just uploaded another video which is hard to hear but I put the phone to my ear and heard it. Maybe some owners aren't bothered by this rattle but I don't know if it's my acute hearing or the fact I come from a Subaru platform, it's unnerving.

Car sounds normal. The other option is your looking for an issue that doesn’t exist.

I don't hear a rattle. Maybe check your exhaust bolts are all tightened.

Also, the GT350s have resonance in the shifter at certain RPMs. In case this is what you are hearing, here is how I fixed it:

Totally normal. I agree with Charlie, don’t look for problems that don’t exist, just enjoy the car. If something does go wrong it’ll be obvious. Worrying if something might go wrong takes the fun out of it very quickly.

Yep. Sounds just like mine.

Gotta buy a Predator to have no tick. For real though, sounds perfectly normal to me, don't even hear a BBQ tick or anything.
