No, its the chassis code, not the motor code.

no one ever says them by their usdm chassis code, everyone uses the jdm code for some reason i dont know why. well i know i use the jdm code because if i used the usdm one nobody would know what the fuck i was talking about.

Why can't people just say year/model of their car? All those #'s and letters are confusing to know. Your car isn't cooler if you call it an e77ah9.

I always say I have a 5.0 mustang, everyone knows what that means, whether you like them or hate them

It's cool to have shorthand for them, but I have no clue what someone is talking about when they use an acronym for their car.
