 In my opinion, they all sound about the same at the track although I have
not heard the Dodges. You can really pick out one that is not running on all
8 however, they sound terrible.

I think the design of the exhaust system has a lot to do with the "sound." I
remember when Sterling Marlin was in the 4 car at Daytona the first time they
ran the crossover exhaust system - clearly a different sound from the other
cars...

Yeah - if you're looking at engines that are all pretty much the
same size and running the same rpm, then the exhaust system is
going to pretty much entirely determine what it sounds like.

Went to a vintage race not so long ago, and the variety of
sounds was pretty neat - there were a bunch of GTP cars with
turbo V6s and V8s, a Jag w/ a V12, an assortment of other
sports cars w/ various 4 and 6 cylinder engines...and this
one incredible BAROOOOM from an old Can-Am Lola with a 427
big-block.

 The times that you notice a big difference is when the run the exhaust. Back
when Marlin was running the $ and it won at Daytona it sounded very
different from the rest of the field but it was because of the routing of
the exhaust. As for the Dodge, they are not running the Hemi. The Hemi was
outlawed by NASCAR many years ago when it blew everyone's doors off so they
decided that you could not run them. Maybe the start of leveling the playing
field? I've got a Hemi and trust me, you hear and know the difference. <VBG>
