Whats funny about the HEMI Ram VS Cevy SS is that the HEMI is Dodge's regular truck. The SS is chev's performance truck. When your so called "performance truck" is getting beat by regular Rams........your doing something wrong, or Dodge is just that much better. Either way, its another vic...

So far, the 6.1 Hemi is an SRT engine for SRT vehicles. 300C SRT-8, Grand Cherokee SRT-8 and probably the Magnum SRT-8. 425 horses and 420 torque are the #s. Wow. Chrysler is making a Grand Cherokee SRT-8. Thats pretty cool. Do expect to see the 6.1 in the 2500/3500 HD trucks aswell. If not 2006 de...

Ford is the lasiest of the big three when it come to putting out a competitive automobile. I mean all they do with thier performance cars is slap superchargers on them and they run with Dodge and Chev who make thier horses from pure "American Muscle" type motors. if i were a Ford guy I wou...

I saw that one in 99 when it came out and I have been anticipating its release ever since. Thats what the Charger should look like. More Charger and less Magnum in this machine.

It won't be the final production Charger though :cry:

I was at the local Auto show the other day and I was looking at that new Ford Mustang. It looks pretty good. They really went with the 60s style on the body and parts of the interior.

Dodge better step it up and come out with a better car than that. They are completely capable of it, so they should come through. You can't just remake a Charger, youv gotta remake it with style. The Charger has a big name and a bigger history to live up to, and this 2006 model aint gonna cut it the...

HEMI vs HURICANE

I have read that Ford is comming out with a new engine to battle the HEMI. Its called the Huricane. I can't find any specs on the engine yet, but it will probably push 310+ HP. Don't forget Dodge is comming out with a 6.1L HEMI in the near future so Ford will have to muster something up to compete w...

Its all matter of opinion wheather the HEMI was a great street machine or not. Same with the likes of 427 ZL1s and 427s. Some will say it was, some will say it wasn,t. So there is no real point in arguing that. The HEMI being the best engine of its time is also a matter of opinion. It doesn't really...

No the ZL1 was whiped out in one race by the Hemi. Its time on the drag strip was short and pointless, and the ZL1 was ultimately retired to road racing (CANAM crap) status. The 426 Hemi is a fine street mill but not a great one, the hemi was esigned as a nascar engine first thus it was designed to...

Actaully little dude the Ford 427 is one of the reasons that the 426 Hemi was developed. While not a Hemi the Ford 427's canted valve design is a very effective design at high RPM. Thus in the early days when chrysler raced the 426 Max Wedges in NASCAR they fell to 427s more often than one might th...

Allow me to correct both of you. Ford never did have a prayer! LOL. The 427 was a decent engine but really it was severely overshadowed by the success of the 426 HEMI. Ford never did "stamp the crap" out of RamChargers. Don't downplay the 426 Max Wedge so fast, it stood its ground against ...
