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> Jim
