People wont be scared of a backfiring car, The whole dumb plan hinges on the neighborhood being afraid for their lives. wouldn't surprise me if this made other crime rise too.

Backfiring cars are not so common today, especially in affluent neighborhoods.

If you make it sound as close to a gunshot as you can, which isn't hard because it's easy to mix up the two if you're from an affluent area that isn't full of gun nuts, their imagination does the rest.
