Large Testicles posted:drat i came here to post this, the 2J and the LS sound dead on. idk enough about the other engines to comment, but i just downloaded the software and i'm gonna gently caress with it in a lil Pretty f'n cool software. One thing that's fun is to compare the firing order of the LS vs Gen 1-3 SBC that gives the LS it's "bark". It's just two cylinders swapped, as I recal, but makes all the difference. Someone also modeled the Ford GT500 flat-plane versus a European flat plane (possibly in different software hardware - I don't recall for certain.) Same kind of difference. A different firing order makes the Ford sound more like a cross-plane (they didn't want to completely alienate Mustang mullets.) In the video toiletbrush posted, the author mentions that American manufacturers also use exhaust trickery. He also models the Dorito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdAn2YKry30 Though he uses a peripheral port intake and exhaust, which is going to sound a bit different from the side port models, but mainly in a good, brappy, way. Mostly in terms of intake/exhaust overlap (which is "brap". Basically the same as a high lift, high overlap cammed piston engine has "lope".)

This showed up in Perry Mason last night, it's an absolutely amazing car, but I can't id it. I'm assuming it's an Auburn Speedster, but it doesn't have the exhaust coming out of the sides.

I think it’s an Auburn Speedster replica, the radial tires and modern wheels give it away. Replicas where made by a few different companies over the years, some were pretty well done. Link is an example built in the 70s on a ford chassis. https://www.auburnspeedsters.com/classifieds_st_louis_car_museum_6.htm
