Lets hope this HEMI is better than the current one!

To me, there's only one..........

the 426

 

I am interested in the European version. A 300-C front clip on a Magnum body.

i want to see that the other way around... the magnum front clip on the 300c body... that would be awsome...

 

Ahh yea, the 426... my pop has one in his Plum Crazy Purple 'Cuda.

Car is off the walls!

What's wrong with the current Hemi? Lift pump??

 

Man they are sure defacing a good engine
I guess they gotta sell cars anyway they can

 

New hemi=poop Old hemi=gold

new car + old Hemi= golden turd! Lets face it fellas, these cares look like doodoo. I know, I love mopar too, but jeez guys, get it right. haha.

The only reason I dont like the current Hemi is because the Gas milage. Other than that its awesome.

I'm not very fond of the square grills, but the Magnum is a very nice car. I've only seen a couple, though- I don't think they're selling well.
The Charger even looks good, but I hate the fact that it's a 4-door.
Any details on the new Hemi? Is it just a bored/ stroked 5.7 or is it entirely different?
Ahh yes, the 426... A number as hallowed as 5.9.

 

I'll go along with you there but the Hemi and Cummins both made top ten engines last year. It's not a 426 but the first Hemi was 341cid wasn't it? It was a strong small block as well. All of our trucks are thirsty compared to a Prius.
Mine just has a drinking problem.

 

LOL, yes All our trucks have a issue with the drink...

Dont get me wrong, the Idea for the Magnum is flat out cool. A high performance station wagon. C'mon guys, who offers a station wagon anymore? Ever more so, one with Cajones?

Also, the Charger idea is great, but it needs to be more original, like the new mustang.

JMHO,
Dom

 

There was actually like a 276 or something close. My son has one at his place.

 

from http://www.71superbee.com/Hemi :

In 1951, Chrysler introduced the Hemi V8 engine to the public. This engine had 331 cubic inches and featured hemispherical combustion chambers. This engine produced 180 horsepower at 4000 rpm. The first cars to host this new engine were the New Yorker and Saratoga lines. Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial, and Plymouth were the first cars to offer a Hemi engine as an option. Chrysler referred to these engines as the "Red Ram", "Firedome" and "Firepower" motors. These early 301, 331, 354, and 392 ci motors, had little in common with the 426 except for the basic valve train arrangement and spark plug location.
