Not impressed with the Hurricane Six. Pretty fast truck, but not a pavement pounder. Like the Challenger Hurricane Drag Pack exhibition car last year, this truck launched and sounded like a limp noodle. This inherent performance dynamic just will not attract the hard core hot rod Dodge fans. Not to say there is no case or hope for the Six Pack Chargers, personally I’m drawn to this package, but it will not attract racing buffs or enthusiasts to the Hurricane. The glaring truth is Dodge needs to revive and spin off the Charger architecture with a shorter, lighter more aggressively styled Challenger with a V-8 to win hearts and minds to Dodge again.
Speculation is swirling about an affordable compact sports car and a next generation Viper and a return of a V-8 Challenger. Dodge needs to take these rumors to reality as soon as possible. This video just proved clearly how desperate the situation is and the clear reality of that sad situation. These folks did a marvelous job with the Hurricane, but it just will not cut it for Dodge.
