Hemi dies after 2018?

Your choice has more to do with your age more than anything. Not saying that's a bad thing.
Oh believe me, I believe the 426 is the king of muscle car engines and probably the most iconic engine ever built and I would love to have one someday (in a B-body) but in a new car or in an A-body I'd rather have the new Hemi. But you're probably right too on the age thing, I didn't grow up in the time of the 426s and have only seen a handful of real Hemi cars in my life. I just get tired of hearing "those aren't REAL hemis" same as any A-body owner hates hearing "that's not a REAL muscle car"
