I agree with what Bill said above. The car beautiful inside and out, and as a performance car, it's actually decent. Personally I'm waiting for the hurricane versions to hit the streets seeing that even the standard output version comes with nearly the horsepower of a 6.1L Hemi and the high output has enough horsepower and torque to walk all over every stock naturally aspirated V8 production-level muscle car we've had in the last 20 years including the 7-liter Camaro Z28, the 6.4L Mopars and even the mighty GT350 Shelby Mustang.
I will say this and leave it at this. I've seen the rumors about the Cuda, the return of the hemi V8 engines, the rumors of a 7-liter production N/A hemi and all of that. While the rumors and everything are cool and exciting. I try to look at things with a bit of restraint and how would it affect the business. While yes, we are thankfully out of Tavares era so we don't have someone purposefully trying to ruin an American brand for european rule and our current governmental party has pushed back the oppressive EV mandates, the truth still stands that throwing a V8 in everything will also effectively kill the brand as well. The EPA still has a say in all of this and with the Hurricane engines present, that really leaves no room for the 5.7L or the 6.4L Hemi in much of anything outside of the Durango or maybe a truck, considering the fact that the Hurricanes outshine both of these engines. The same can not be said for the supercharged v8 engines. Could an 825hp version of the C30 Hellephant engine, toned down with a 2.7L blower get dropped into a next-gen Mopar muscle car on the STLA Large platform, sure it could. The same way they could drop it under the hood of a new Ram 1500 or even a Durango. I would honestly love to see it happen and return the Hemi name to its own legendary status instead of calling every v8 in the mopar lineup a Hemi. I would love to see Dodge have the Charger lineup with the two six packs and a 426 Blown Hemi at the top of the lineup. Same way I'd love to see a smaller, mustang sized Cuda with that same powertrain lineup along with a few street pickup trucks with Hurricane and blown 426-Hemi powertrains. I want to see the Mopar brands go back to thriving a flourishing the way they should be. Hell, I want to see the return of the Viper with a base model powered by the 807hp Redeye engine and the top model powered by a 1,100hp A170 Hellephant engine. I want to see what a tuned up version of the 300hp 2.0L Hurricane-4 EVO motor would be like in a couple of GLH & SRT4 model cars or even strapped to a hybrid 8-speed in the 4Xe Jeeps. I want to see Chrysler stomp all over Tesla with an 800V full EV Chrysler 300M with a tri-motor banshee system with the new semi-solid state batteries and 3-speed gearbox and fratzonic sound system and then watch Chrysler build an EV Pacifica with the same equipment to destroy the Tesla Model X Plaid. Again I am not opposed to Mopar EV performance, I'm 100% all for it! I want to see the 300 return as the Mopar brand's, Halcyon/Charger Daytona inspired electric performance luxury car with dual motors and tri-motors all on the 800V system and all with a three-speed gearbox. Honestly all of the Mopar EVs need to be on an 800V system regardless of platform from Medium to frame. Not saying I want to see Chrysler go full-EV but it would be the best brand for an EV-biased lineup while Jeep would be the best brand for a hybrid lineup. including hybrid hurricane-6 lineups and hurricane-4 EVO lineups in vehicles such as the Jeep Recon and Jeep Wagoneer-S. I still say with those brands focusing on "green energy" it gives Ram & Dodge the room to be focused on ICE vehicles with Hurricane-4, Hurricane-6 and Hemi V8 performance. Aftersales Direct Connection performance and Aftermarket performance will always be around for us enthusiast but to me this would keep both sides happy.
