How does that Hemi run? Can it compare the the power of the original hemi built back in the 60s.
The story was, The US government outlawed Chryslers production of the Hemi because it had no top end. When it was run on the track there was nothing that could touch it.
Curious as to how much of the Hemi's genetics were transfered to this new generation.

 

Shock,

I have a '67 Hemi as well, and for brute power, there is no comparison...but hey, that 426 cubes vs. 345 and real hemispherical combusition chambers vs. flat tops with asimilar valve train. Overall, the new hemi is quite impressive, defintely more street friendly and an overall great motor. There is tons of debate and info on the differences between the two here and at other sites, but that's my two cents. The 6.1 version or 6.4 are even more impressive and I look forward to trying one in the new Challenger.

 

Interior is a little better. Still too much square plastic though
