This info was just discovered from a dealer training document that a few people got a hold of. Ford needs to explain this for sure. It seems to only be capable of the full HP for short bursts before a mini limp mode kicks in. FPC vibration concerns so this is an effort decrease warranty claims perhaps?
Engine Overrev Indicator
Helps increase the performance range of Shelby GT350
Overrev is indicated on the tachometer by raising the
redline from 6250 to 8250 rpm
When conditions permit, overrev is indicated by a
8250 rpm redline
If conditions limit overrev accessibility, the
tachometer redline is illuminated at 6250 rpm
Engine torque and maximum rpm are limited until
coolant temperature reaches 170 degrees F
Warm-up is indicated when the illuminated
tachometer redline changes from 6250 rpm to
7000 rpm
Once the engine is warm, the overrev feature allows
8 seconds above 6250 rpm up to 8250 rpm
If the 8-second time limit is exceeded, maximum
engine rpm is reduced to 6250 until both of the
following occur:
Engine is operated for at least 15 seconds below
6000 rpm
Engine rpm falls below 5000"
In Layman's terms, it is a 475hp engine with a short term over boost function allowing 529hp for 8 seconds at a time?

The funny thing about the "proof," is this... After eight months it's release announcement, there has not been any proof that this car has done anything. Just speculation, "undisclosed sources," and talk. This thing is a total mystery in the eyes of the public, I assume it is exactly what Ford wanted.

Problem is on some tracks you could easily roll through several turns in any certain single gear above 6250 rpm that could take more than 8 seconds. Seems like furds cure for the flat crank issues it ran into was to just slow the motor down.

At $10,000 less and at this point a maybe(?) faster car, they're either trying to set the bar way up there or it will be another case of "You get what you pay for."
I'm excited to see what happens and what it means for the rest of the model trims.

neither does the gt350 lol.
Thankfully, an actual Ford employee and unofficial forum spokesperson at Mustang 6G.com chimed in and confirmed that there wont be an overrev function and everyone can return to their normal lives as if nothing had ever happened.
I guess.
