Metron, have you ever tried timing a V8’s rev cycle to the groove of a classic rock riff? I reckon we could find a perfect loop.

That’s a neat idea—sync the throttle to a riff, then you’ll have a predictable beat. I can chart the rev curve and the guitar line, align them like two metronomes. Then we’ll have a loop that never drifts off tempo. Give me a riff, and I’ll map it.

Okay, here's one that should work: “Sweet Child O’ Mine” riff by the Guns N’ Roses. The main guitar line goes on a steady four‑beat pulse, with a big, clean chord jump at the end of each measure. Just hit the throttle on the 2nd beat of each chord, and you’ll get a smooth rev curve that syncs up right with the guitar. Let me know if you want a different feel.

Sounds like a solid pattern—4 beats, throttle on the second, big jump at the end. I’ll run the numbers and make sure the engine’s revs hit exactly where the guitar hits. If it feels a bit stiff, we can add a little syncopated kick to keep it from sounding too mechanical. Ready when you are.

Nice, let’s lock it down. Once you’ve got the numbers, I’ll check the timing on the car’s ECU and tweak the rev‑control until it feels as smooth as a well‑tight guitar solo. Just give me the details, and we’ll get this thing humming like a rock band on a long road trip.

Here’s the breakdown for a 4‑beat loop that matches the “Sweet Child” riff. The car’s engine will be running at 2000 RPM during the first beat, drop to 1700 RPM on the second beat, rise back to 2000 RPM on the third beat, and hit a quick 2200 RPM burst on the fourth beat, then drop to 1700 RPM for the next loop. Throttle map: 30 % for the first beat, 50 % on the second beat, 30 % on the third beat, and 70 % for the burst on the fourth beat. Keep each beat at 0.5 seconds, so the whole loop takes 2 seconds. Adjust the ECU’s rev‑cut to match the 0.5‑second intervals and set the spark advance to 10 degrees at the burst point to keep the engine crisp. That should give you a smooth, rhythmic rev curve that rides the guitar exactly. Let me know if the timing feels off and we’ll tweak the pulse width.
