Gota Hemi?
Gota Hemi?
Last night my friend and I were driving down a three lane road when a Hemi Magnum pulls up next to me at a light. The light turns green and we both begin to rapidly accelerate and then with a massive squeel of the tires this damn thing just takes off. I missed second and at this point he had 2 cars on me
. He shut down and so did I. So we make it to the next light and I am sure that I can do better if I did not miss second and could get into my topend a bit better (did not expect to win, but thought that I could atleast do better than the first run). Light turns green and we both evenly launch and then he takes off like I have never seen before. By 75 he has atleast a football feild on me and is still pulling hard. I then notice that it has an SRT emblem on the back 
. We get to the next light and my friend gives him a thumbs up. When the light turns he proceeds to give me a similar thrashing to the last. I did some research and now they make a SRT8 version of the magnum that has 420+hp!!! I have raced mustang GTs and GTOs that would not even compare to this thing, it was a complete beast. What the hell will they put Hemis in next vans??

Hemi is more of a marketing ploy nowadays. it's not even really that efficient of a design. regardless, dodge is putting bigger and bigger engines into everything they can.
laugh now, but 350 horsepower minivans aren't far off. as if soccer moms need more road rage abusing horsepower.

i have 2 friends that both work fleet for dodge. they have str8 models in the 300c the magnum and the charger. all have 425hp. but the price tag is rediculous. for the magnum its like $70k for a srt8. but none the less they are fast as shyt. but i dont htink youll see any of them beating a 550hp srt10 truck. they dont put the srt10 viper motor in anything but the viper and the truck.

The SRT-8 cars arent cheap, but they also arent $70,000. Roughly $40,000 for the SRT-8 Magnum.

Rep Power: 318 The HEMI to clarify with s2000man isnt a hemi anymore. The new HEMI engines do not ahve hemispherical heads.. thats how the engine got its name. The new Hemi engines are not Hemi's at all...
Ohh ya, they are sticking a hemi into everything - go figure- dispersing cost of the engine among many models and using it as a marketing ploy at the same time. Good idea!! now only if they can be as clever as toyota and sell a million box's with wheels... Scion XA or is it the AB , whatever...

Just to reenforce the statment that I made above about SRT8s being faster than the SRT10
SRT10 truck 6350lbs/500bhp= 12.7lbs/hp
SRT8(magnum or charger) 4200lbs/425bhp=9.88 lbs/hp
The SRT8 will work an SRT10 truck over pretty darn good. The SRT10 truck in no way even compares to the vipers:
3300lbs/500bhp=6.6 lbs/hp
Not trying to start anything, just trying to avoid a debate (I seem to get banned everytime I get involved on one lately LOL
)

Rep Power: 261 For a Civic racing a HEMI car good luck.It won't even beat a HEMI truck at 6600 lbs.As for the SRT8"s the turboed civics wont stand a chance,and the SRT10 Ram truck will beat a normal 5.7 Magum,300c or Charger. Some of you's live a sheltered world
You can certainly tell who are the car guys in this thread.

Screw those Hemi trucks and their mullet wearing owners. Here in Ohio everyone and their hick brother has a Hemi truck of some kind weather its one of them riced out Daytona or Rumblebee editions. I have now officially lost count on all the a--hole Hemi truck drivers that challenged the grocery getter at a light!!! "You know my truck has a 345hp Hemi right?" Couple guys actually asked me that! I then proceeded to ask them "You know i have two babyseats in the back right?" They all thought that was pretty funny until i was waiting for them at the next redlight. 
They usually say something like i cheated cuz my car is debadged or just a nice big middle finger. 
The Dodge commercials have given them asshats big ego's.
