Did anyone notice that it was given the sound of a large block V8? The largest engines those front wheel drive beaters were given was a Mitsubishi turbo V6, and they did not sound anywhere close like a Hemi.

It was a very nice looking car.

I'm watching it now and thought the same thing. They probably would have sold a bunch more if they could get them to really sound like that

There was a replacement K-member Chrysler made for the Daytona(as well as other K-car based platform fwd mopars) so a Mopar small block V8 could be installed longitudinally making it a RWD car for racing. More than a few made their into street cars.

They're not made anymore but there are custom shops who make versions of it.

The largest engines those ever had were 2.5L Chrysler 4 cylinder engines, with the turbo being a 2.2 (I worked on a lot of those back in the '80's and '90's).. This wasn't the only movie that they "butched up" the Daytona with a V8 sound effect.. seemed like they did that to sell cars (Chyrsler products were featured prominently in the movie)..
