Hey everyone, so I was just watching some RS videos, which got me thinking about revving my car to redline because I just want to hear it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway I was wondering if any of you have done it just sitting there in neutral and if you did how'd it sound?? Also was wondering if this will hurt the car in any way. I haven't messed with the ecu, so I wanted to know if redlining it would be fine. Thanks .

You'll just hit the fuel cutoff and drop back down below redline. There's really nothing exciting about it in the ST, launch control sounds better IMO. Maybe if you have an exhaust it'd sound okay. A brief bounce off the cutoff won't hurt anything, but I wouldn't just sit there with the pedal glued to the floor letting it rev all day.

Exactly heh heh heh....DoH!

This is worth stating due to the context of the original post....OP, be sure to open your garage door prior to doing this. Otherwise, you won't be able to hear it for very long......

It sounds like ass.

Don't bother.

This is a "global" car, meaning it is designed to be in compliance with noise restrictions in all countries. That is the reason there is a "symposer" which pipes intake noise into the cabin instead of having a loud exhaust.

It's also why more and more car manufactuers are actually piping "fake noise" through the stereo speakers. This is to provide the driver the feeling that he is making a racket while the rest of the public sleep undisturbed in their beds at night. (Including ford, apparently for the new ST in Europe, as the symposer is "gone" and instead the sound is manufactured and piped through the stereo....)

So no, revving it up will not make any appreciable noise unless you put an aftermarket exhaust on it.

The RS "snap crackle pop" is actually a tune that is enabled when you go in sport mode that is the result of engine software that sparks fuel in the combustion chamber while the cylinder head’s exhaust valve is open.

I am sure you can get tunes and parts that make the car louder, but based on the stock setup, the car is designed to sound louder inside than outside.....Go figure....

I say do it. But make sure you hold the pedal down for at least 1 minute at redline.

Why bother? Vtec kicks in at 2500rpm in these cars, yo

DO not redline the car at start up please. Let the car warm up, then go for it.

Just do it while driving and you will see just how anticlimactic it is. Basically the gas gets shut off and you lose power until it's back within acceptable range. No big deal.

It feels like when you have to sneeze and somebody says peanut butter and then you don't sneeze and your world just crumbles around you and drown your sorrows in booze and loose women only to find out your checking account was hacked and you have 30 overdraft charges and your dog died.

Get a cobb accessport, get a tune with launch control, enjoy launch control and shift at 5500 rpms for maximum compressor efficiency.

I hit redline parked in neutral when I get my new exhaust (dont judge me!!) and it was boring. It didnt bounce off the rev limiter or anything, it just cut power until the RPMs dropped back down enough. Really anticlimactic tbh, It makes me want to get a tune so I can have a rev limiter and then a built in launch control limiter at like 3000 or something

I think Ford took this out of Hyundai's playbook potentially, the genesis 3.5 is pretty fast and when you hit redline it cuts like 50% power to save the powertrain and engine, they did it like that so they could have a 100K mile warranty though
