I didn't say it had more power -- read then speak grasshopper. The Hemi felt better down low but didn't feel like it had better acceleration in passing situations...get it?

Sweet. I love Corvettes. But unfortunately Chevy is going to have to do a little better then that. Dodge is currently working on a new Hemi V10 for the Viper which is supposed to be putting out 700 - 800HP stock.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Also in the works is a 6.1L Hemi V8 that produces 500 - 600HP.

Neither of these engines will be out until at least 2005 - 2006. So Chevy can have the spotlight.....for now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sounds to me like the performance and HP wars are on in the auto industry. I love it. They HAVE to keep raising the bar to beat the competition. Where will it end? This is great though. 5 years ago I never would have thought there would be a production sport pickup with 500HP on the market (the SRT-10). It just keeps getting better and better.
Don't believe the hype Demag...........

I don't want to start anymore useless arguing, but the 6.0 has 300HP. The 5.7 Hemi has 345HP.

It is dropped, kinda. We were talking about a different subject with the new Corvette.

Yeah, well, I didn't believe the hype when they were talking about putting a Viper motor in the Ram. I also didn't believe the hype when they were talking about a next generation Lightning with 500HP.

I guess I should have believed in both situations because it turned out neither were hype.

Daimler/Chrysler is only gonna spend so much money R&D on these motors. They drasticly need to improve fuel effeciency if they think consumers will want these in cars. I wish they would as i grew up Mopar and had a 1970 Road Runner, and a 1970 Cuda at times in my life....
