    Ralph Gilles Reflects on the Design Evolution of the New Dodge Charger

    Not really. ‘68 is the high point of Charger design, they got worse after and were worse before. The new car isn’t supposed to be a comparison to the ‘68. It’s supposed to harken back, and take cues, while being fully modern. It’s EASILY the most attractive new car of the last decade...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    7.0 wasn’t dropped to develop Hurricane, Hurricane has been in development for at least a decade. It first showed not long after Hellcat debuted

    Should Stellantis Build a Smaller HEMI® V8?

    They NEED a V8. No one anywhere ever asked for a turbo 6, that money should have been spent on a new V8 but I’m afraid that ship has failed. A V8 is always more power dense than a 6, always. Period.

    Should Stellantis Build a Smaller HEMI® V8?

    All of these points are blatant lies, other than balance. Which no one cares about. V8’s almost ALWAYS have superior flow numbers, they have far more exhaust energy to push any potential turbos, and…..room to secure heads is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen posted on the internet. And given...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    And none of that means they couldn’t build a new V8. Stop with the nonsense.

    Twin-Turbo Ram 1500 RHO Arrives On Dealer Lots

    No, the F150 is not the most appealing new truck.

    Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on Stellantis if Jobs Move to Mexico

    This is a move to incentivize production staying or coming here. He has been VERY clear: move production out, and you’ll be hit with a massive penalty via tariffs and taxes. Maintain production in the States, and the benefits start with reduced taxes. This is needed. He’s also stated he will...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    This has been a massive, massive failure. And for minimal sales, crazy.

    Mopar Shines At The 2024 SEMA Show

    Why is it that you INSIST on saying foolish things again and again and again? Nobody cares. We want V8’s. That’s never going to change. You can’t tune a Hurricane that doesn’t exist in an EV doofus. Pull your head out. I guarantee within a year of release, there will be a handful of these EV...

    why no HO550hp engine in the four door Charger?

    Yeah nope, the only one that may be exclusive is Banshee. Other than that, the standard Hurricane versions (SO and HO) will be in both two and four door models. Separating those would be an atrocious strategy and kill sales. A Halo like Banshee (and Demons before) can survive being exclusive...

    Direct Connection Expands HEMI® Crate Engine Offerings

    A new V8 would have to be a ground up redesign. I can’t mentally close the door to that maybe some point but Stellantis will run all companies into the ground before that could ever happen.

    Mopar Gives Ram and Dodge EVs a New Look for SEMA

    Ok, they both look absolutely stunning in this color combo. Best yet. They are actually extremely attractive vehicles, but we question their means of propulsion. Wish both had a Hemi

    2025 Ram 2500 Power Wagon Concept Going to SEMA

    I would really like to know what a**hole gave the stamp of approval to that front end. It’s not good. Went from unquestionably the best looking trucks on the market for 30 years straight, to that. The grille isn’t good either, but the headlights are awful. Ralph has to be tied up in some...

    Could a Dodge Attitude SRT-4 Revive Affordable Performance?

    That’s not even a good design. It’s literal garbage. No they missed the boat already. Dart SRT4 was confirmed and canceled at last minute, THAT was their swan song. It’s done. SRT4 has now been dead for nearly two decades, it doesn’t resonate with anyone anymore. They would absolutely 100%...

    BYD and Stellantis Dismiss Chrysler Acquisition Rumors

    This guy really tried to make a point with a graphic with two DEAD cars and a small suv that can’t sell. And then tries to seem “in the know” with platform codes. We’re still not impressed. And there’s no midsize Ram offering. It’s dead

    PRE-ORDER: YJ Grille and Winch Bumper from Unofficial Use Only

    I don’t know why people that aren’t designers, attempt to “improve” on an already good design. Everytime I see one of the “angry eyes” grilles I just shake my head and think “moron”. This is no different. This is truly an atrocious looking unit, especially from straight on. Sideways almost...

    Stellantis Begins Search For A Successor For Tavares

    That’s fine. He doesn’t have deep enough pockets. The only way it could happen is an investment group, we’ve been down that road before and barely survived (Cerberus). Minus someone like Bezos or Musk, or another corporate entity (that may or may not be better than PSA was) it doesn’t happen...

    Stellantis Begins Search For A Successor For Tavares

    Yes, Tim Kuniskis and Ralph Gilles are part of the group that brought the best looking, most exciting vehicles in recent memory. They are not the reason we are in the awful position we are in now; Tim bailed when he saw the writing on the wall, and Ralph is still there trying to make chocolate...
