That is a good clip, love the sound and driven by an experienced driver, but it's not balls out.

Shows my age, but I had the real experience of hearing 917-30 driven by Mark Donahue, at the Mosport Can-Am as a kid.
He didn't care one bit about saving the engine. Whole different level of sweet noise.
I'll never forget it, every one was totally flipped out with the car and Donahue. He was freakish fast, nothing touched him, even though he didn't win this race.
I had to look it up and think back. My brother took me every year to the Can-Am, we would camp the weekend. I saw Donahue at least 2 of his 3 times.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
