SWMBO reckons she read "somewhere" of a device that can make your car sound like another, but only to those inside the car. To clarify: we have a small 1-litre hatchback, but when she is driving she'd like it to sound to her like a 5-litre Mustang, though she does NOT expect it to perform like a Mustang...

She'd probably accept the sound of a Dodge Charger, the other Bullitt car that was at the Brackley classics show yesterday

I dismissed it at first as a figment of her imagination - then thought about the way technology is progressing...

I expect if the car is not really really old (+20 years) it will have a OBD2 port, this is likely to have a device that would be able to push a sound to the car stereo in some way to mimic a V8 in relation to revs of the engine.
If nothing else, this should give you some Google search terms to find what's available?

EDIT: A quick search found smartphone apps that link to OBD2 to do exactly this!

Or she could just make very loud 'vroom vroom' noises when she's driving...

Thanks for the links James - hard to believe people make money out of apps like those but they obviously do!

Jonah - that's a good idea and it's easier and cheaper! By the way, was it you who put up a video of a Mustang trip along the California coast? Can't find it here, but may have been on the old MacFormat forum
