I wonder what 8,250 RPM looks like in the hand-built 5.2L V8 — nicknamed Voodoo for its dark magic, menacing and intoxicating allure.

I know what it feels like, sounds like. The heart-pounding, adrenaline-rush of a roaring beast unleashed.

Wicked as a banshee in heat.

That quivering, giddy feeling rushes through your veins as she hustles you into the forbidden, uninhabited regions of triple-digit MPH.

But if we could see inside, at the vitals of this ferocious, naturally aspirated, savage hoodoo heathen, what would her 8,250 RPM look like?

Injectors spitting volcanic toxin, like the angry lashing tongue of a venomous serpent.

The explosive energy and hellish brilliance of internal combustion up close and demonically frightful.

Its crazy flat-plane crankshaft revving at bedazzling revolutions, its pistons pounding with punishing force, its dual cams rocking their resiling valves.

Is there a sharp definition to this dinosaur feasting mechanical monster churning eighty-two-fifty to the naked eye? Or would it appear as a spellbinding blur on the precipitous verge of disintegration, bracing to fly apart?

Obviously someone was indulging in the “Happy Stuff”.

The only trips I take with the 350 are in the seat and totally sober.

Enjoy.

Spellbinding blur.

Even at idle things are moving very quickly.

Alrighty then…. I don’t think my college creative writing credits stand justice to this. You win.

Whoa, tough crowd. It's called curiosity, taken the form of creative writing, a free and liberal expression in the thrill and wonder of the GT350 — itself an art form. Obviously, lost on those who communicate with initialisms — if for no other reason than the sake of expediency, eh?

8250 rpm roughly translates to 137 Hz (your average monitor refreshes less Hz) so it would look like a static image lol

Iambic pentameter or go home. Though if you want to Haiku, that's worth extra points.
Fair enough.

Earth-rattling roar
Blazing clouds, burning rubber
Mustang mania
