right here ...see me I'm waving.. NY
Spoke with a guy who worked for Chrysler back in the day. Told me he spoke to "people" and was told they are dropping the Hemi after '23. He said they are going with 6 cylinder turbos in the future. Anyone hear anything crazy like that??
 
I heard the Hemi's are going away. 6 cyl turbo's can be outrageously fast, but I like the sound of a V8. No doubt about it.
 
Performance will be coming from "EVs" .

straight or V6's? The Nissan GT-R is wicked fast with a dual turbo 3.8 V6...Hows 480hp/480 ft/lbs up to 710HP/720ft lbs sound?

Like 3/4 of what the same bore/stroke on a v8 would make

The Lil Ford Focus ST has a Turbo 4 Cyl that makes 350hp/350 Tq with a Manual 6-Speed.
Damn thing would certainly Smoke my Barracuda w/ 200Hp...

Really what will need are some new models that have some art, some looks, some beauty and light weight to go with the power of that turbo'd v6. It could be a be a new car with some appeal maybe. Then somehow give it the sound of a V8!!!??/
No matter, this old guy will never afford one.
 
please dont make it a high trunk cookie cutter sedan again, Bring back the 68 Dart body style or even the 71 Barracuda but dont over inflate it with bulbous fenders and huge wrap around taillights. Seen that on too many modern cars. Whatever, I'm with @barbee6043 , Ill never afford one.
 
BMW M12/13 Check out the power ratings 40 years ago from a 4 cylinder.

I had two Challengers with 392’s that I sold. Sad to see them discontinued. I sold this 2017 T/A 392 a couple of years ago.
