Agree. What is so great about the modern Hemi anyway? a 6.1 is 425 HP/420 torque. A 6.4 is 470hp and 470 torque. A 6L truck engine is virtually the same output as a 5.7 Hemi-with better fuel mileage. (

You can buy a LS based engine for much less that will do the same thing. The LS3 is 430HP/424 torque. If you want the big power (and $$) you can get an LS7 that is 500HP/470 torque or the new Corvette is 450/450.

Why go to all that trouble to put something in that will fight you the whole way for no gain over what has been done before?
