Let’s wait first to see how Hurricane sales will be .

It actually makes sense for low volume offering.

Maybe they will be back to and fast track the V8 R&D they were working on before the merger with PSA.

I guess people did want the vibrant, noisy, less powerful and slower Ram V8. Let’s see how sustainable this sales growth is.

Maybe we’ll finally see the stillborn Banshee 7.0 HEMI. The good thing is that this platform is flexible and can accommodate battery, inline6 and V8. So Dodge can bank now on the current administration and sell as much as V8, where it’s legal, and Hurricane in the other states. Then, if the...

I want to see the hybrid ZF 8HP as much as the next guy. But is CDJR ever going to have it? I read somewhere, that they are testing a Wagoneer with a hybrid HEMI, whether it’s eTorque or with hybrid ZF 8HP.

When and if that ever happens.

Then there is the other that can and wants a V8. It makes sense for now, until they can figure out how to come with a compliant 700+hp V8.

And you think a high boost turbocharged engine with plastic parts will be reliable?

For starter, the cam on the HEMI engines sets higher in the block than other pushrod engines. The factory oil pump is good as long as you are driving. But there’s a kind of starvation when the engine is idle. Hellcat or Melling pumps help with the higher pressure, thus it helps pushing the oil...

I have been working with GEN3 HEMI engines for many years now, and I can say for certain that the failure happens because of: 1- You need to be religious with the oil type. Synthetic and 5W30 at least. Not the watery 0W20 2- 5-10k is too much with these engines. They are designed to run hot. 3-...

That is what I was saying before, Hurricanes on paper seemed superior. But let’s be fair. The Challenger 1320 is tailored for Drag racing. But again the Six Pack Scat Pack with AWD isn’t that much fast than the regular Scat Pack 392 (12.2 seconds vs 12.6 seconds)

Dodge Community on Instagram posted a clip with a supercharger whine.

Why would they do that?

If the buyers want a V8 give it to them, and improvement is always welcome. GM is investing in the next generation V8 so why shouldn’t CDJR? Even the Germans are back tracking their decision to kill their V8’s, even though they have more “efficient and powerful” 6 and 4 cylinders. But keeping...
