You can tell by the "diagonally stacked" exhaust... Gotta love the V8.

True but only car enthusiasts know that. I think about 10% of drivers on the road are car enthusiasts so there’s 90% of people who wouldn’t know the difference. This means that for the most part, this is, in fact, a sleeper to most people.
