Pre-Covid my grandkids always took turns sitting in all my cars. The youngest grandson, my little gearhead buddy, has been known to turn a wrench also.
I once asked him which one he liked best. "The red one". I asked why. " Because it's the fastest"!! How did he know that??
Exhaust noise may have been his clue? Just wait till I can get him alone with me for a ride!!
