One thing I didn't mention about the new car is the interesting induction sound. Like my Sprint the exhaust note it is clearly not V8, however the Sprint induction sound is similar (on a smaller scale) to a 4bbl V8. The 1bbl car induction has almost a turbine or jet type sound. I don't know if this is a monojet thing or if it's the combo of monojet with the better internal flow of the OHC engine. Closest thing I can think of is a 70 455 olds 2bbl a friend owned back in the 80's. Too much engine for the carb CFM.
