    I used to be able to detect a 90s Chrysler/Dodge engine by their sound. It was very distinctive across the whole range.

    Not a lot of those survived. Their transmissions sucked ass. I don’t think I could do it anymore.

      The Chrysler/Dodge 5.7L V8 “HEMI” engine has a distinct sound as well. They put that engine in all their cars, trucks, and SUVs from 2000 almost to the current day.

      If you hear a car that sounds like a box of metal shavings dumped in a food processor… That’s a Ford Focus. I know them by the sound of the transmission alone.
