No, I understood. I floored the gas, turned the key to start. The engine 
started, and began to spin like mad. To put it another way, it tached-up 
like you'd expect a SHO engine would with no load, and at WOT. I removed 
my foot from the pedal only because the tach needle was moving through 
its arc so quickly. There was no hesitation, I barely hit the starter.
